[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 202464, member: 30779"] Thought I'd track these: Rejected at first stage purely because of the application form (answers, experience, qualifications, who knows!?): [LIST] [*]Dechert [*]Bates Wells [*]Burges Salmon [*]Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton (very fast: rolling!) [*]Travers Smith [*]Slaughter and May [*]Dentons [*]Eversheds Sutherland [*]Weil Gotshal & Manges [*]Davis Polk & Wardwell [*]Bird & Bird [*]Willkie Farr & Gallagher [*]DWF [*]Kirkland & Ellis [*]Jones Day [*]Cooley [*]Forsters (made a factual error on form!) [*]Sullivan & Cromwell [*]Fieldfisher [*]Vinson & Elkins [*]Squire Patton Boggs [*]Greenberg Traurig [*]Clifford Chance (passed WGT) [*]Debevoise & Plimpton [*]Katten [*]Hill Dickinson [*]Fieldfisher [*]Ropes & Gray [*]Akin [*]DLA Piper [*]Freshfields [*]Orrick [*]Boodle Hatfield [/LIST] Rejected at first stage either because of form or WGT performance: [LIST] [*]Hogan Lovells [*]RPC [/LIST] Rejected at first stage either because of form or SJT performance: [LIST] [*]A&O Shearman [*]Pinsent Masons [*]Taylor Wessing [*]HSF (sjt was poor) [*]BCLP (sjt was poor) [*]Shoosmiths [*]Ashurst [*]Latham & Watkins [/LIST] Rejected at first stage because of Arctic Shores performance [LIST] [*]NRF [*]Gowling [/LIST] Rejected at subsequent stage because of SJT or VI performance: [LIST] [*]Reed Smith [/LIST] Rejected at subsequent stage because of VI performance: [LIST] [*]Mishcon [*]Kennedys [*]Baker McKenzie [*]CMS [*]WFW [*]Goodwin [*]Fladgate [*]Gateley [/LIST] Rejected following AC: [LIST] [*]Milbank [/LIST] Currently, therefore, of resolved applications, 45 were rejected at the first stage, and ten were rejected at a subsequent stage. I have other applications in progress at different stages (AC, VI, first stage), so the ratio above is not necessarily representative overall. It's clear that my VI performance is substantially below par and I need to improve in this area. [/QUOTE]
