I answered this on the previous page of this thread - there is no interview at this stage. My AC is later today so I can login to the platform and see my schedule which only contains preparation time for the commercial exercise, the commercial exercise and the Watson Glaser.

Thank you! I hope yours goes well 😊

I had my MB AC yesterday morning and I got a call yesterday evening saying I made it to the final partner interview next week! Such a quick turn around! 🥰😻

Any advice/tips for it would be very welcome as I've never gotten this far in the process before and it's my dream firm so the pressure is on!

CMS vac scheme offer!!! I was SO sure I'd flopped, given my computer completely crashed and cut 25minutes of my time during the case study... I guess this just shows not to give up 😭

I think it’s purposefully broad and vague. I read it as a property development or construction/planning project that is or has happened recently. The Battersea Power Station development springs to mind.

I’d go about it like this: first, have a think about what interests you. This could be anything from your hobbies to particular law firm practice areas you’re interested in. Starting here is important as they want to know why it interests you - this is what helps you stand out from the crowd. ➡️ With an idea of what interests you, see what’s happening in London in connection to that. For example, maybe you’re interested in renewable energy, and there’s a construction project in London designed to install X amount of EV charging points by the end of 2022. ➡️ With an idea in mind, you can now explain why it interests you. Maybe you did a course on renewable energy and liked how it combined new technology and problem solving ➡️ then tie your question into how the firm can assist. I remember WBD has a strong energy sector focus, so there’s lots of knowledge they can support with on a project around clean energy. For example, construction, development, planning advice.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for this advice!

How do HL looks at WG score when allocating AC offers- in isolation/as a cut-off point or do they look at your app as well?
