What is the online assessment - WG?

What is the online assessment - WG?

Seems a mixture of SJT and some WG

If you run out of time answering a question in a VI is this a make or break for the application? :/

 

[Ooshmate]

anyone heard back from Skadden/S&M/Gibson Dunn?

Has anyone gotten any tips/advice for the AS Commercial Awareness Comp Final? Idk what to expect that'll be different from the Semi-Finals

I don't think there's a straight answer to this, it might depend on what you managed to say and whether you made any meaningful/strong points up until the cut-off. But I wouldn't worry too much about it now.

How long has it taken for people to receive the WG test from DLA? It's been a week since I filled out the Rare contextual info form and haven't received WG yet

About a few days but I've heard for some people it took about a week or so

For skadden, you won't hear back until after the deadline x

It depends on how much time you run out by. A few seconds or half a sentence, then most likely not. But if you haven’t managed to communicate the key points, then that could be more of an issue.

I know some people got Gibson Dunn first and second stages invites already!

Has anyone who applied for Cleary's WVS received an email detailing the following:

'Thank you for your application to Cleary Gottlieb and for your continued patience. Due to an exceptionally high volume of applications for our Winter Vacation Scheme we have not been able to progress your application at this point, however we were very impressed by your CV and cover letter and we would like to consider you for our Spring and Summer schemes.'

Not sure what to think lol.

Do they recruit on a rolling basis?

I believe so as they said they would be in touch with an outcome by end of Feb 2024 the latest.

I received the same email. Definitely good news for now. If they didn’t like your application, they’d simply reject you!

Has anyone heard back from Akin post test yet?

 

[SAlegal]

sorry to hear that, did you apply directly with PWC?

Hi, yes I did
