I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck for future applications.

For NRF Spring I had sent my application on the 19th of November and received the WG invite on the 14th of December. I haven't heard back since I did the WG 😭

For Hogan Lovells is the WG just pass/fail for progression or do they take the percentile into account?

Anyone who has received an AC for CC 2024, in your email, when it describes the breakdown of the exercises, what does it say the day consists of for you?

Has anyone had VI with Baker McKenzie this cycle? In the e-mail, they say it's three questions in total but there's no information concerning the time we're given for preparation and answers. Any information would be appreciated!

Is this for Summer or Spring?

Is this is the date u completed the WG or the app?

 

[ellwilsen]

anyone else just forget how to act like a normal human being when recording a VI lol

 

[James Carrabino]

Has anyone contacted Bird and Bird's Grad Rec to find out when we'll hear outcomes from the WG for the Spring Vac Scheme? Over 3 weeks and counting to find out about an online test result is verging on ludicrous, especially when the email stated that we should expect to hear 'shortly afterwards'.

This is not very long to be honest. Most firms look at a Watson Glaser result holistically together with the rest of your application so it is not simply a matter of waiting 3 weeks to find out about an online test result

Spring
