    Anyone knows when we might hear back from A&O direct TC? I applied quite late, so I'm scared they have filled up spaces by now... I thought I'd still give it a chance
    I applied 21st November and haven't heard yet (portal hasn't been updated either). Not sure what to expect, but I do know someone who applied after me and has received an AC for Jan - not sure if that means PFO or that they're not reviewing apps in order? Who knows...

    I applied 11/11 and I still haven't heard so I have no idea 🤨 when did you apply?

    I applied 11/12, so very close to the deadline, hence why I don't have my hopes up...

    @Rina When did your friend receive the AC invite?

    Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Slaughter and May? They reached out to me shortly after I submitted my app (11th Nov) to ask for some further info regarding my overseas grades but I haven't heard back since (that was a month ago), though that would suggest that they have actually seen my app - not sure what to think

    That’s probably good news. I applied 22 Nov and was rejected 10 days ago. Good luck!

    I am - applied 2025 TC on Nov 24th or something. Right before the deadline.

    I'm just intrigued as CC ask 'why didn't you get a TC' - seems very hard to write something positive (even if you have genuinely improved), think it's a negative selection bias
    Yea I agree - the question was very direct so it's a bit tricky! I think it depends on the feedback you get after the previous VS and how you word your answer to the 'why didn't you get a TC' question.

    Hi all, has anyone else applied for a TC at HL Hogan Lovells but hasn’t yet received an invitation to complete the WG test?

    I applied 9 days and still haven’t received an invitation. Has anyone applied within the past 9 days and received an invitation?

    Tempted to email grad recruitment if there’s been a mistake but don’t want to jump the gun in the event that others are also waiting

    I applied on Sunday and am also still waiting for an invite, though I had been wondering the same thing~
