    That’s the thing, I’ve been to numerous open days with HL and I even did their lift off scheme last year. They really are my top firm 😔

    Hogan Lovells rejection. This one stings a lot. Not made it past a single application stage this cycle 😭

    Has anyone actually gotten (or heard of anyone getting) an AC for HL DTC yet? Trying to work out whether no news is good news or whether to just accept an imminent rejection 🙃

    They mentioned at a uni open day I went to in 2023 that they look for a score of around 30/40. But idk if this has changed since!

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what time of year the ACs for HL direct TC were held last year?

    Anyone know when HL are likely to hold ACs for the direct TC route? Praying that my app and WG score from the lift off scheme last year are good enough to get me to AC stage 🙏

    Freshfields PFO - feeling very hopeless right now as I put so much effort into my apps but they never get looked at because I can't seem to pass any SJTs and I struggle equally as much with the WG despite putting in so many hours of practice. Part of me feels like it's because of my autism, but...

    How do you know that you passed the SJT? Did they email you to let you know? All I’ve gotten since I applied and sat the test are two identical emails (sent weeks apart funnily) with a link to my feedback report and a note to say they will review my application after the deadline 🙃

    Congrats! Do you mind me asking when you applied? Hoping to hear back soon, but I stumbled quite a lot on the video section of the SJT so I have my doubts 🙃

    Did you do the lift off scheme or anything? Cause they carry scores over for some of their schemes. I did lift off last year and when I emailed them about not having received the watson glaser a few weeks ago they said my score was transferable

    I applied for HL direct TC on the 6th of October and am yet to receive a link to the Watson Glaser. I emailed grad rec on the 11th and they said that I would receive it soon, but I still haven’t. Should I email them again or just leave it? I’m just worried my application has gotten lost or...

    Does anyone know if the watson glaser is automatic and sent to everyone for Freshfields or is it selective based on written application? Thanks!

    Anyone who has applied for Hogan Lovells direct TC - how long after submitting your application did you get sent the link for the watson glaser?
