[Shreya Verma]

The email said that they have carefully reviewed my app + WG scores. Does this mean that I passed the WG?

After submitting NRF should we log into the provided Workday account?

Has anyone been able to confirm whether Ashurst's Direct TC deadline on Friday 29 March is noon or 23:59. I know the vacation scheme deadlines were noon, but can't find explicitly that the TC one is. Just don't want to presume its the later finish and miss the deadline.

It says noon on chambers student so I'm going by that just in case

same here from the email it sounded like it was bc it was rolling. Quite frustrating as I applied and did the test back in december yet there was a glitch on their side i think as they didn't receive the test results until i emailed them end of feb! i actively tried to apply before the deadline bc it was rolling

Hi, does anyone happen to know whether the Ashurst deadline is just for submitting the application or if it is for both the application and the test? I know that Pinsent Masons had a requirement that candidates had to complete both the app and test by their deadline.

Pretty sure the deadline is just for the application. They state that you will receive a test link within 7 days of your application which you must complete within 3 days. Then you will hear back in April/May.

Anyone knows if NRF allows you to apply for the direct TC during the same cycle if you were rejected for the VS?

They do but only if you weren't invited to an assessment day for the vac scheme. If you were and still got rejected afterwards, you have to wait 12 months from the original date of applying.
