Just a more general question — is it common practice for firms to reimburse for travel and hotel expenses for an interview/AC?

Travel yes, hotels less likely. But worthwhile speaking to the firm if they have not made this clear when they have invited you through to interview stage.

I think they will first work through open days and pathfinder applicants who have been fast tracked.

I just submitted an application for Fieldfisher's Diversity Access Scheme and for the "grade/level achieved", I put 2.1 since it didn't require a module breakdown. Would this be a problem for grad rec?

Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post WG? Do we have to email grad rec to see if we passed the test?
After completing the Watson Glaser I only got this email stating “ Thank you for completing your assessment for our Summer Vacation Scheme 2024 role.

We will be in touch soon with an update on your application.”
