Gowling WLG VC Application Question

[OB]

My friend just got an AC for the London office so they’re still handing out places!

Just got the London AC invite so stay positive everyone

As above it seems London hears first as their ACs are earlier and Birmingham will hear later

I would also imagine Birmingham has more applicants as that is their head office and they have more spaces there?

I would imagine London has more spaces because of the salary difference

One of my friends has had an AC invite for February and she applied to Birmingham office. Not sure how they’re working this one out.

When did she hear from them regarding the AC invite?

Just got the London AC invite so stay positive everyone

Massive congratulations

It says above London ACs first half of feb, Birmingham ACs second half

That’s incorrect! As she had an invite for 2 feb? Had to contac grad Rec and is now attending feb 9? We can only go off facts and not speculation.

It wasn't speculation I was quoting an email I'd received from grad rec and now I have been invited to the AC and London ACs are first two weeks of Feb (unless they add extra dates later.) I guess they must've changed the dates for Birmingham ACs since they originally emailed me.

I was told last year Birmingham has around 15 TC places and London around 10

Just also received invite for London AC. Good luck guys

 

[SKB]

Still haven’t received anything from London office! Assuming it’s a rejection but seems a bit cruel to leave people who have been rejected until the very end..

I’m with you on this one

I meant as I applied to London and was told by someone in Gowling HR that we would hear by the 12th whether we had been successful or not - so I meant it is odd that someone was told a different date and I was told the 12th! I was just guessing that could be why I was told a different date, but who knows.

 

[SKB]

congrats to those who have received AC invites! Have your portals updated at all? I.e the date it was last updated

 

[AspiringLawyer112]

Hi

I emailed HR. They got back to me and said candidates should hear back no later than the 5th.

 

[Afrin Nanavatti]

Has anyone received an AC invite from the Birmingham office? Haven't heard anything yet

 

[AspiringLawyer112]

Those who have received AC invites, when did you complete the VI?
