Because DLA is known to be non-rolling, you won’t hear back before the deadline.
I assumed so too! They actually emailed me today (possibly automated?) drawing my attention to their open days, and that applications are reviewed rolling so we should get them in ASAP, so not 100% sure what's going on. Have also heard from others it's non rolling?

DLA reviews applications on a rolling basis.
"Summer Internship applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. You are encouraged to apply ahead of the application deadline. Assessment centres for the Summer Internship will take place through mid-late January and February."
I previously stated this in a message but although DLA Piper state this on their website, the GR make it clear that they do not review applications on a rolling basis. Only if you completed their first year scheme, would you hear back earlier from them as they conduct their ACs for those students next months and then they get back to the rest of the students in Jan after the deadline has passed.
Hope this is useful x
Has anyone heard back after completing the Watson Glaser for Hogan Lovell's BaSE programme?
Has anyone who had their A&O winter vacation scheme AC last week heard back yet?
Hi all,
Quick question: how is innovation/data literacy applicable to the role of a trainee solicitor? I understand that it would enable one to critically think about ways in which technology could be adopted to deliver results more effectively but was wondering if anyone had any further specific examples of how it may be used to benefit the role/the firm?
Thank you!

Hey - I don't have any specific examples but I think it's important not to conflate innovation with technology/data. Innovation is doing something new or novel or different - for example putting a creative idea/concept into action or a way of doing something that makes an existing process more efficient. This can include use of data or technology but does not necessarily need to.
On the other hand, in an increasingly data driven world, being able to read, analyse and apply different forms of data is important in many roles. As is technology - you might be using various bits of tech (e.g. machine learning or AI for due diligence or discovery, managing contracts etc.), which would make your role and the firm more efficient.
No I haven't, and I did the test on Friday 5 Nov if that helps - when did you do yours?
Okay thanks, I did mine on Saturday. Hopefully we hear back by next week!
Judging by last year‘a thread, ppl were hearing back on the last week of November so I’m not holding my breath in hearing back anytime soon.
Sorry to hear that. Do you know what score you got if you don't mine me asking?Yea PFO after WG cause I didn't meet the mark(
i think it was more or less 1/2 working days - i believe you get sent it automatically
