I'm sorry to hear this, please don't give up - this years application is harder than last years, new questions and format. Even the A/C and the internship itself is different

Is anyone receiving an error message when trying to complete the CMS Watson glaser. I’ve tried multiple browsers and emailed support but im hoping someone has an easy fix? I work full time so would really need to get this done over the weekend.

Same thing for me. Also tried multiple browsers, devices, and also clearing cookies etc. I also emailed them, waiting for a response, but the earliest AllHires will respond is Monday... Is this your first Watson Glaser for CMS? My thesis is that I have issues, because I took another CMS Watson Glaser less than a year ago (14 October 2024).

Does anyone know if the DLA WG is automatic or selective?

DLA Piper confirmed they are not rolling basis via e-mail. Strange.

They have been RB in the past - but they have changed their process slightly this year with new questions and moving the London deadline.

does anyone have insights for BCLP's online test?

 

[emily3827]

does the nrf vi have unlimited prep time?

hey guys, quick question about the White and Case VS app: there seems to be no space for submitting individual module grades, except in the postgraduate section? It says "
Please use the space below to list all your individual modules and the percentage or letter grades you achieved in each." but in the postgrad section?
Anyone else encounter this?

Anyone has a problem in assessing Skadden Open Day form? I submitted my app few days ago, but without answering the question as it didn't appear:

There isn't an additional question - the form is just a registration form to get the link rather than a formal application. I attended a similar event earlier this year and it was the same process
