Just got rejected by Hogan Lovells post critical thinking test :( Just wish they could give some form of feedback at post-test stage, although I completely get why they can't - so many applications to sift through.

2 rejections but still in the game for 6. Got to think on the bright side!
:)

Hope everyone has a fab Easter weekend on another note :D

    Same! I just got the rejection. I asked for my Watson Glaser report and they said I was not successful based on my application form so at least I know that much!

    Oh that’s good to know, I might ask the same! Thank you, I’m sure we will both get there ☺️ Also I suspect the majority of TCs went to vac schemers this year so let’s not beat ourselves up too much about it: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....ly-as-it-cancels-summer-vacation-schemes/amp/

    Am I right to assume that direct TC offers were handed out to the would-be summer vac schemers then? It'd be interesting to know how that worked considering pretty much all firms, including HL, have more VS places than TCs available.

    they weren’t offered to everyone. Some have been transferred to their winter vacation scheme instead.

    They offered some TCs and some Winter VS’s. Not sure how they decided but I am pretty sure everyone’s happy with the results.

    Perhaps will impact direct TC applications. May be little point in doing any as spaces will be given to those who are further down the vac scheme application process
    I wouldn't worry about it yet unless other firms start following HL. For some firms, if you submit a TC app it will be considered first because they won't have given any TC spaces to Spring vac schemers yet (e.g. Baker McKenzie).
