Congratulations! When did you apply? Is this for the London office?

I applied mid-October, it's for the Edinburgh office.

 

[Anoned]

Congratulations y'all! Very very well done🥳 🥳 🥳

Let me know if you need any help preparing for your ACs!

I may just take you up on that offer! Do you happen to have experience of the DLA AC?

I completed the job stimulation for Mayer Brown before the deadline but on the portal it now says "deadline passed" instead of "finished." (whereas the earlier SST and VRT says "finished") Should I email the firm to confirm they have received my job stimulation results?

I think this has happened to most people (including me and a couple of my mates). I wouldn't worry to be honest, I'm sure the firm will be aware of this and it won't be an issue.

I applied very early so I highly doubt you're a PFO just yet.

Thanks for responding. If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply?

'Under review' means that you met the benchmark and passed the test, I think?
(That's what it was like last year)

I received the report in my rejection e-mail, it said something along the lines of 'if you wish to generate feedback report...click here'.

My application portal says 'under review', but I did not receive an email saying that or that I passed the test. I did, however, receive a test feedback report. Does that ('under review') mean that I passed the test and they are reviewing my app?

What kinds of examples help demonstrate integrity? Everything I can think of relates better to reliability than integrity.

Has anyone heard back from W&C spring VS post application ?

Upholding your personal/professional norms while working is the best example IMO (with professional norms being a much better example, because, well, you are applying to a law firm. And I think it directly relates to reliability.

How long does it take to hear back post-WG for Dentons, does anyone know?

 

[EVjuji]

How long does it take to hear back post-WG for Dentons, does anyone know?

For me a week but did not pass the WG.
(They have a very high benchmark / norm group)

How long does it take to hear back post-WG for Dentons, does anyone know?

Took me about 1-2 weeks. But that might vary now that the deadline is approaching.

 

[skmx]

is it still worth applying to CMS now?

Definitely. Last year I applied a few days before the deadline and got to AC.

Weil Gotshal and Taylor Wessing test invites this week!

 

[xtinew]

Received a feedback report from Clyde & Co this morning. Top strengths: learning agility, judgment. Weakest: personal responsibility.
Won't make any assumptions based on the report but I do think the results are more accurate than Linklaters' Capp.

Capp submitted Nov 20.

Weil Gotshal and Taylor Wessing test invites this week!

Congrats! Can I ask when you applied to TW?

 

[GXA123]

this is what I get everytime I try accessing Taylor Wessing's website, what can I do to fix this? I have tried safari and chrome and my phone as well.

Thank you!!

If a video interview is said to take no more than 15 minutes, how many questions can I expect?
