PFO HSF Spring VI. They cited the fact I did not meet the benchmark for the test.

Funny thing is, I was a "reasonable high performer" in all four categories.

Can someone assure me this isnt a mistake?

I suspect the “reasonable” maybe the reason here. The firm maybe look for high performers in at least one category.

Hi everyone! Got invited for a first-stage interview with Gibson Dunn. Would really ppreciate any tips/advice, thanks!

 

[BM99]

does anyone have advice for the Kirkland VI please, or has done it this year?

Hi may I ask when you applied?

Anyone who's done the WG for Hogan Lovells, did you also not get any confirmation through email after completion?

I was wondering if anyone knew if NRFs summer scheme is strictly for penultimate and final year students or if graduates can also apply? The website says it's for students only and that the spring scheme is for graduates but I missed the deadline for this as I did not realise they split up the application windows for spring and summer schemes..

Was going to potentially ask grad rec but thought I'd ask here first.

I asked grad rec and they confirmed that the summer scheme is for penultimate year law and non-law students only. And if you are a finalist law/non-law or a graduate you can only apply for winter, spring or direct TC.

Thank you for confirming!

Does anyone have any tips for HSF's test?

 

[rose888]

does anyone know if Hogan Lovells let you reapply in the same recruitment cycle, if you have failed their WG for your first application?

Does anyone have any tips for HSF's test?

I’ve passed it for vac scheme and first year scheme by doing the practice test on their website and reading over the ‘what we look for section’, keeping the traits there in mind. Also do some general Watson glaser practice as well for the verbal reasoning sections

Has anyone heard anything from DLA post-WG?

 

[laubedusixjuin]

Any advice for Skadden TI would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone heard anything from DLA post-WG?

They sent me a reminder to complete my WG even though I already have. Has this happened to you or anyone else?

 

[Ambs123]

Does anyone know of any firms that don't take module marks/degree percentage into account?

Addleshaw Goddard!

Hi Guys, I am currently applying to Gateley vacation scheme. In the preference page, there is a question which states Please explain the reason for your preference (100 words max) * - this is not one of the main application questions. I was wondering whether we need to go in detail in terms of this question?

What do they mean by preference?

Just completed WG for Clifford Chance Training Contract and got confirmation that my responses were received. However, contrary to the instructions in the email I got from CC, I didn't have to log in to access the test nor did I have to answer any equal opportunity questions at the end. Is this just me/can someone pls confirm if they found the same?
