I did the WG test for Weil last week. But i havent had a rejection or been invited for VI. Is anyone else in limbo?

Loool mate they haven’t even sent me a WG..it’s annoying cause Ive seen them reject people and it feels like my app is lost in a pile.

Does anyone know if Slaughters are still holding ACs? Their grad rec team haven’t replied to my email.

I know people who were rejected pretty quickly but I still haven’t heard anything. Any advice?

Im still waiting to hear back too

Does anyone have any insight on the V&E VI they would be willing to share?

Has anyone here ever gotten average scores for all but one with the Mayer Brown VRT & progressed ? I feel as though, those scores are perhaps what they look out for more than the situational judgement. So if you score a over average in all, plus have a good app..the you get through. Cause the situational judgement doesn’t really matter as you’re gonna score high in 3 things which they don’t mind as well.

Yep. I’ve gotten average scores and got through to telephone interview both times. It did take a month for them to get back to me though.

If there’s one thing doing these apps teaches you, it’s patience

 

[thirdtimelucky]

Just received my Mayer Brown results, one above average, three average and one below with my main strengths being resilience, collaboration and work ethic. I only did the tests two days ago so hopefully I’ll hear back soon though I’m not sure if it’ll be good news!

I dont think it does I scored avarage last year and got through and this year I scored above avarage in all but didnt!

Sorry to hear this but you're clearly doing well to have improved!!
Did they provide you with a reason for rejection?

anyone else not heard from mishcon since sending application? seen so many VI invites so I'm wondering whether to just accept it as a rejection.

Does anyone have any advice for the Taylor Vinters assessment centre?

I have not heard either. Some people have been rejected post-app and pre-VI, so no idea what to think.
