    Looking back it took my 10 days last year before I got the WG. I think they do screen beforehand, but maybe the different speeds are to do with the offices people are applying for?

    Is it about a week on average that people have waited for the CMS WG? I applied last weekend and assuming they’re busy with lots of late applications to screen.

    Hi- I went to their London Insight Day and they confirmed they are non-rolling. So absolutely worth applying to them! I’m going to write my app later in December.

    An absolute nightmare! I’ve just emailed them as I also pressed ‘update’ on the application, wondering if it would take me to a page allowing me to see the whole thing. Now worried it’s changed the date of my submission…

    Just logged in to check my TW application after all the website bugs and errors. I can see most of my application and that my cover letter is uploaded but I can’t see the answers to the job-specific answer questions. Anyone having the same problem?

    Is anyone still waiting to hear back from BCLP after a long wait? I did their online test on 20th September and I’ve not heard anything since!

    Thanks, but the additional information section is just a textbox it seems, and I can’t upload anything to it.

    I’ve applied to Eversheds Sutherland and noticed the form asked you to submit evidence of your degree module grades alongside your application. However, there was nowhere to upload a transcript. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is it worth an email to their Early Talent Team? Thanks!

    Just filled in the Taylor Wessing form and now I can’t access it because of the error. 🫠 Has the form come back for anyone or have you had to start again/set up a new account?

    I didn’t have this problem and could enter all my work experiences.
