Anyone who applied to Latham around second week of December and still waiting to hear back?

 

[fitzer401]

Has anyone heard back from HL post VI or Ashurst post test ?

People have been invited to Ashurst for interview this week and next I think.

Hiya @Law queries (and for anyone else waiting post WG)

If I remember correctly, Cooley doesn’t release the pass mark or any feedback report for their Watson Glaser test. I believe this was intentional to maintain fairness across all applicants. This policy might have changed, but I distinctly remember graduate recruitment saying this to me after I passed the Watson Glaser and requested my score. That said, the turn around for a response after the Watson Glaser test was quite fast. So I'd recommend hanging in there. You should find out whether you've passed the benchmark shortly. Best of luck!

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the information. I will wait to hear from them!

There were only times available on Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday! Only around 2-3 slots per day, with Monday only having one slot!

Taylor Wessing AC!!!! Needed something good after three PFOs and a terrible interview all in the last week haha

 

[lawaspirant!]

Joelson PFO 🤣🤣🤣

Can i just ask why this emoticon? Is it not a respectable firm? Asking for my own application!

 

[Chris Brown]

Has anyone heard back from Travers Smith at all about the SVS? I feel like it’s been a while from the application deadline. 🥲🥲

Based on last years forum for WVS and SVS it seemed they were getting back to people a few weeks after the final deadline.

last monday -
freshfields: here’s your invitation to our assessment, but if you want adjustments email us and do not attempt the test until we have responded

me: emails later the same day asking for reasonable adjustments, deadline for the assessment passes

today
ff: unfortunately we shall not be progressing with your application

me replying: im guessing this is because i didn’t do the assessment, but i emailed about adjustments and was not replied to

ff response just now -

Has anyone else not heard from AG after the initial application? Seeing people on here have already had ACs so I'm assuming PFO at this point.
