There probably just still going through applications no news is good news
There's an Ashurst thread where they talk a bit about the test and the different elements! Ashurst Thread, hope that helpsDoes anyone understand what happens in the Ashurst Test? As an individual with a learning difficulty I am confused by what the test even entails alongside being worried about how my condition may impact my results. Thanks
Sorry for that. When did you apply and when did you receive the email? Good luck with your other applications!
If you want more logical analysis of the whole GME situation you should also take a look at r/stocks, much more balanced and data-driven!I must say, it's so refreshing to come on here and see this logical and sensible discussion about GameStop. I've been watching the r/wallstreetbets (wsb) thread very closely as there's no education quite like experience so I invested in a very small amount of AMC for a giggle to keep up with it hehe. What I can say from that experience is... honestly, it's like watching the end Titanic but instead of "don't let go Jack" it's "hold!!!1! to the moon daddy musk!!! 🚀😩" LOL
On a more serious note, it will certainly interesting to see the upshot from this and for how long it continues. What seemingly started as a fairly harmless situation of short sellers vs longs has morphed into this huge antiestablishment movement like nothing I've seen take off on the wsb subreddit before. At the moment, platforms aren't allowing the purchase of any memestock so it feels like an artificial decline of the 'movement' with many selling or losing interest, but one look on Reddit will tell you otherwise. In a similar way to what was seen with Trump supporters, the members of the group are promoting this real mistrust of news sources. I could even see this falling as part of the bigger move towards the regulation of social media as there is so much misinformation being spread on Reddit while the wsb subreddit has quadrupled its members (over 8m now)! This is just what I've seen though and I do not purport to be any kind of expert on financial markets
Not sure which I'll get first: a vac scheme or a vaccine

This analysis is great - It has been a rollercoaster following the posts in r/wallstreetbets! I also think it's great that this situation has caused many people to take an interest in finance/the stock market.I must say, it's so refreshing to come on here and see this logical and sensible discussion about GameStop.

For anyone who is a bit confused by what is going on (and how this might be relevant to your interviews/the law), I'm going to find some time to write a short piece on the Gamestop saga in today's newsletter.

Hi have you been invited to VI with Vinson? When did you apply and when did you hear back? Thanks.
I was invited yesterday (and a few others who posted on here as well) and applied a couple of days before the deadline.
Found out I'm through to the written assessment stage for Stephenson Harwood! Can't believe it!! If anyone has any advice would be so appreciated
Take a look at the DLA Piper Application thread before you do, they have had big problems with g.mail.
I think so! I could be wrong but I think it is new this year and is the only test they are doing
