screen first!Hi, does anyone know if Hogan Lovells send out the Watson Glaser test without having read your application, or do they screen your application first? Thanks!

I am still waiting as well.Hi All,
Has anyone heard back from Whtie & Case? I applied in June, the deadline was at the end of July, and it's almost October and still haven't heard anything? I've only received an email saying they're still going through applications....
Your topic sounds interesting and I think is fine to go for that.
I think the case is a good one to choose. It’s probably not bad to have mentioned it in your Why Mishcon but the space you have is quite limited and so would perhaps consider thinking of another reason to show you have more than a limited understanding/knowledge of the firm.
Having spoken to grad rec, the scheme doesn't exempt applicants from taking the test. You still have to meet the benchmark to be guaranteed an interview.check if you are eligible to apply to NRF's Guaranteed Interview Scheme. People with a disability are offered an interview.
Thank you! And yeah good point! For the 'why us and why commercial law question' do you think its a good idea to split my answer into halfs, so 150 words for why us and 150 for why comm law?
Hi! I got an AC invite last week for the Manchester office but they might still be in the process of sending them out because I haven’t seen anyone else post about them yet! Mine said in process too so I wouldn’t worry about that, but maybe you could send a follow up email tomorrow if you don’t hear by the end of the day.Has anyone heard back from TLT? My portal has changed from "In Process. There is nothing you need to do" to just "In Process" - but I haven't had any updates. They said we'd hear back by the end of the month so I'm getting a bit antsy now.
Thanks for that! Do you know what the benchmark is?Having spoken to grad rec, the scheme doesn't exempt applicants from taking the test. You still have to meet the benchmark to be guaranteed an interview.
No, sorry.Thanks for that! Do you know what the benchmark is?
I am finding it hard to answer this question (Dechert Spring Vacation Scheme 2021). Is someone able to help me out with this - thank you?
"Dechert is frequently retained to work on the most challenging matters, and prides itself on its ability to deliver premium legal services and sound business judgment to its clients. In your opinion, other than the above, what are the three key reasons why our clients instruct us?"
Thank youI used about 80-100 words for why Law and then the rest for Why Mishcon. But I don’t think it matters - as long as your reasoning is clear. If doing law doesn’t seem like an obvious career path then I would consider using more space to explain that.
Thank you so much!!!Hey
I would think that many firms deliver premium legal services on challenging matters whilst providing sound business judgment. Why would clients pick Dechert over any other firm with a similar profile?
I would have a look on their website firstly to see what they appear to be proud of in terms of the service they provide to clients. For example, some firms will talk a lot about their client centric or innovative approach (this is just an example, you would need to be more specific than simply saying they are 'innovative').
Once you have worked out how they entice clients to instruct them, and how this benefits the client, you should then have a good foundation to build upon with further research.
Hope that helps!
Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Hogan Lovells for the 22 direct TC after completing the WG? I've checked the portal and all of my email folders - no news whatsoever. They've already opened the apps for the next intake so just wondering if anyone else is on the same boat
Random question:
Travers - do you upload your cover letter and CV as a document, or are you replicating them in text boxes on their online system?
