same I think I got 78 on their Watson Galser test too, so seeing how other people are getting 90+, I'm happy with my HFW vacation scheme 😂 😂

Congratulations on getting a vacation scheme with HFW, I hope it goes well.

I think they probably send out decisions in small batches e.g., one group receive AC invites and the next group receive a PFO. I saw on their website they get between 4,000 to 5,000 applications a year, so they must take a while to process all of them. Best of luck for Hogan Lovells! 🙂​

Leeds, just found out they’re still giving out VI’s

who are people emailing for Linklaters WG scores? I emailed and haven’t heard back

Just the generic trainee recruitment email. Email them from the address you used in your application. It can take a few weeks for them to respond

 

[anon12]
