    Typically if you can no longer withdraw your submission, it means they've made a decision! I'd say just to email the Grad Rec and get a definitive answer. They respond rather quickly as well :)

    I can't say its definitive, but it might explain the score discrepancy and percentile measurements? Or perhaps they weigh some sections more than others?

    I suspect that HL prioritises time! I got around 32/40 but finished the test in 13 minutes. My percentile was 76%

    I've applied to Weil and CMS and haven't even received the WG yet! To be fair, both firms are rolling basis but I've seen people who applied around the same time I did who had received them already and those who have gotten rejections?

    Has anyone not heard from Linklaters for the Summer Vacation Scheme? I finished all the assessments and WG test around 12th December. I know that some people have had their ACs but not sure if that was for Spring. In the meantime, has any PFOs sent out? Thank you in advance :)

    Got two PFOs today and at this point, I'm just very grateful to have progressed into the test and interview stage especially with it being my first official application cycle! Although disappointing, it really provides me with crucial experience for the next (and hopefully last) application...

    Hi! So I had my telephone interview with Dentons for the London Office on the week starting 18th January. From most posts it seems like most people heard back within 2 weeks. Has anyone who interviewed from that week heard anything back yet?

    Hey, I would be cautious about the questions posted yesterday, the poster deleted their post and had PM me that they posted those questions just to gauge people's reaction and have not done the interview themselves!

    Thank you! Was just wondering if there is a time limit to how long your answers should be?

    I usually start with listing out all my past and existing work experiences and roles of responsibilities in university! Personally for me, just having that list really helps me get inspiration and makes me reflect more directly on my own experiences
