Just to clarify for people who applied to Hogan Lovells, the WG test is automatic. I emailed grad rec and they informed me that I passed the Watson Glaser but was unsuccessful on the basis of my application, so I think it is ok to assume that it is automatic.

If it is automatic then why would it take 3 weeks to be sent? Also, on their website it states do well at each stage and you get invited to the next round. It is therefore more reasonable to assume that they would review your application and then send tests. Then following that they probably review your app alongside your score and compare to other candidates.

If it was automatic then it would be sent straight away. Just my thought.

Honestly idk because I thought the same as you - that’s why I emailed them because I was pretty positive I didn’t fail the WG and they then said I was unsuccessful on the basis of my application (verbatim what they said).

The fact you haven’t been rejected yet is still good news though so I wouldn’t be too worried :)

Edit: They also said I had passed the Watson Glaser.

MarkLaw's understanding is correct! I just spoke to a contact at Hogan Lovells and was told that the WG test invites are sent out automatically. They changed it for this application cycle.

Does anyone have any advice regarding this. On two apps, I added supp info. However, I copied and pasted it (cause they're the same thing..just an achievement".. however just under the paragraph.. I dont know how I missed it.. it just says " Contextual Information 1". Haaa.... do you think they'll be like "good app" but good bye based on this "Contextual Information 1 " business.... hahaha :(

    Well BCLP rejection post AC. Not really surprised. I got asked mostly strength based questions when I was told it was a competency based interview. Anyway I've asked for feedback so I can improve. At least it's a good experience :)

    Talking about strength based does anyone know how to structure an answer for them?

    Sorry to hear that but as you say it’s experience to build on! If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply?
