    Seems that those who see their score havent yet received and email and considering an invite for the London office has gone out (I applied to London) I don’t think it’s looking too good 🥲

    Gowling WLG VC Application Question

    I’d have thought the spring one would go to graduates as students actually get a summer break and graduates are usually employed and it’d be difficult taking 2 weeks off of work! - In my opinion anyway , but who knows what they’ll do! Good luck to all nonetheless
