    Anyone heard back from Walker Morris post-AC? Also for anyone waiting on HL for direct TC they said they're reviewing over the next few weeks and should be sending out AC invites within this period.

    Ah yeah sorry should have clarified - I have done the test but wanted to see if that was genuinely the next stage or whether they just view it holistically. But thanks!

    Has anyone who applied to Shoosmiths not received an invite to do the strengths test? I notice a lot of people saying they have and was wondering if this was actually the next step or whether it just runs concurrently.

    If it helps, I got to AC stage for direct TC last year, was told to apply again with a similar application and have just been rejected at the first stage :)

    Can I ask how you know this? Their official line is that they are still considering until 17 February.

    I applied for their Winter Scheme back in November but my reference came in late so they pushed me to the Spring scheme instead.

    Received a PFO from Shoosmiths for their direct TC which said my application scored "very close" to the minimum requirements. Is this just a generic thing everyone got or does it actually mean something?

    I've heard from current trainees that it is just a pass/fail exercise so as long as you reach the required standard it doesn't have much bearing on whether you get an offer.

    Yes, that's what the instructions sent out say. The written exercise as far as I can make out is an error spotting/redrafting exercise.

    Also would love to hear any advice on their AC as it will be my first one. @Jessica Booker Would be very keen to hear any thoughts you might have!
