Linklaters 2019/20 Application

[jk0901]

Hi,
Can someone help me with the minimum cut off for WG test (if there is any). I have applied for the Vac scheme and my WG test result is below average. Would that mean I have no chance of getting an interview call?

If they do have a strict pass mark, none of us will know what it is, but if you look in this thread, you will find people who ranked in the 40th percentile and below who were invited to an AC so I wouldn't rule yourself out. From what I have read, they place quite a heavy emphasis on the Capp test, so if you have done well on that you could still have a good chance.

no one will know this outside the Linklaters grad rec team. Firms do not publish or state their benchmark percentiles and tbh it may not always be as crude as this - Links have the WG and the assessment tasks and I imagine these are reviewed in tandem.

when you say “below average” what do you mean?

The percentile is below average that is what the report says.

Ok this could mean anything from the 1st to the 49th percentile. I don’t know what Links’ percentile benchmark is, but it could easily be somewhere in that “Below average” range

Hey, has anyone else heard back from Linklaters?

 

[Ani]

Not yet, I’m also waiting to hear back from links. My application status is still ‘On hold’ though.

 

[Nikhilrai]

Did anyone apply for the links get ahead programme? Anyone heard back from that?

 

[CarinaH]

Not yet, I’m also waiting to hear back from links. My application status is still ‘On hold’ though.

I just checked my portal and it is in progress, but hasn't been updated since January, so I wouldn't necessarily place too much weight on what the portal says.
