can anyone remember what was in the application apart from the tests? i know there was no long-form answers, but was there any work experience boxes/uni grades etc.??

My application did not include a work experiences section, but I think that is because I applied for a VS. My friend applied for TC and did include his work experiences. Is this correct or did I miss a whole section out lol?

    There were not any boxes for work experience. This was confirmed by grad rec when I met them at an event. I specifically remember because I wanted to reapply and explain that I went to an event at Linklaters, but they said I would not be able to. I think they ask for w/e if you get invited to an AC.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi everyone! Just thought id mention that I know of someone who received an AC invite for a VS on the 3rd of Jan, not trying to panic anyone, I haven't heard back either

    Did she check the portal or did she receive an email? and do you know when the AC is scheduled?

    I got my WG test results back and I find it really odd that evaluating arguments was my best score when I did the test with CC but it's by far my worst with Linklaters, wonder if it's significantly hampered my chances of getting an AC invite
