Hello for this question for HL, do they want us to write it in prose? and if yes, what should be culled out?

Prose, pick 2-3 events you've attended. Prioritize ones that involved Hogan Lovells or hypothetically tie into an area HL is involved in so you can connect it back to the firm.

this was London and says last updated on the day after I got the email saying I passed their WG

@ttlaw12344 Hi! Congrats on passing their WG test! May I please ask when you applied, what your report said ("Strength to leverage", "Further exploration", "Opportunity for development"), and when you got the email saying you passed their WG test? I am asking about this as I have not heard anything from them since I took their WG test, so I was thinking that I might not have passed their WG test. 😅 Thank you.

Thanks! It wasn't a firm I was particularly excited about, to be honest, but I've decided to give it a try anyway, haha.

Yesss, at least one AC at this point will do 😃😃
