is the « candidate review » phase not yet over for you?

No??? Is there a next stage? I thought it was just AC or PFO?

 

[Issy_l]

I have no idea but for me there is « candidate review » and then « interview » and « interview result »

Mine looks identical but it only shows 66% progress..

Guys what's the chance of getting an Open Day offer from Links with 99th percentile WG? I looked back at previous threads and it looks like WG isn't weighed that highly compared to other factors?

I had that before and it didn’t make a difference. The SJT is more important I think.
It seems that wg might be more of a Pass/Fail and not an indication of app success

White & Case VI! I applied twice to them in the past and never made it past the application stage. So, I am taking this as a big win

Vantage is so not user-friendly.. don't know why firms are using this platform. Anyone know how to withdraw an app on vantage?

Contextualised recruitment built in to it/lots of candidates using the system.

Hi very well done for the VI invite! Can I ask which vac scheme did you apply to?

 

[LegallyBrown]

White & Case VI and Dechert VI back to back…

Not going to lie, definitely surprised considering I have BCC at A-Level but guess there’s a little hope.

P.S - DLA did not respond, so I contacted cappfinity instead - they managed to reset it from the back-end. Account got locked due to a password error. Peak.

Thank you - winter

Do you know their WG benchmark?

I think it depends on the year but it’s not very high. Maybe low 70’s on average I’d say
