    How do people get 35/40 in the Watson Glaser? The most I can get is 77% - I just find the test way too hard and actively avoid firms that use it.

    I've heard nothing but it was a very quick turnaround from invite to AC last year (three days) and I hadn't heard by this time a year ago. It's still possible we get an AC, unless they've explicitly confirmed they're full for the WVS.

    Does Baker McKenzie recruit mostly from Vacation Schemes or direct Training Contract applications?

    I can't remember when I applied. It was last month I think.

    Everyone process rejection quite differently. After I didn't connect Ropes & Gray? I ran for Islington council. I also stood for Chancellor of Oxford University. Some escapism I had going there. Still, whatever works for each individual. Good luck everyone.

    How many firms to apply to? Is 30 applications enough quite honestly?

    Research the firm's USPs pretty extensively. Talking abut non-rotational TC =/= enough. Everyone will have thought of that. Think about their capabilities. The firm is good at real estate. Use The Lawyer to look into them. Also Chambers & Partners. Legal 500 is excellent for client info.

    Move on qualification I would say. I feel the same way and when you're 20/21 you're applying thinking that you have to get something before graduating, and so you end up burning bridges with firms because you don't know what you don't know and you don't come over well first time. I feel this way...

    Unlike others, I don't think it's ridiculous. In a way it helps to cut down the numbers and it is understandable to give other people a chance. I don't think I have a chance with Latham & Watkins for that reason. To put it another way, anyone know any firms that DO reinterview people and has...

    Covington & Burling PFO. Btw, does it matter if you use a capital a mid sentence instead of a lower case a, asking for a friend.
