anyone know when we will hear back from hogan lovells? when i applied for their winter vacation scheme, i was rejected within 48 hours of completing my WG because i messed it up.

reapplied for their summer scheme and completed my application and WG a good month ago now. so i wonder if they automatically reject people if they don’t pass the benchmark? and then take time to review everyone’s applications who do pass it?

Are you allowed to apply twice in the same year, or is it only if you don't meet the WG benchmark the first time?

How long does it take for Mishcon to get back to you regarding a VI post app? I submitted my application almost 1.5 weeks ago and haven't heard anything but I know someone on here applied around the same time as me and got an invite.. should I just assume a PFO?
Hi,
I have applied to Mishcon


10th November - applied
28th November - invite to VI received
12th December (had an extension due to circumstances at the time) - VI completed

No one has heard back yet since sitting VI early Dec. Only one applicant has told me they have had PFO post VI

Does anyone have any advice for Davis Polk interview? I was told I would be seeing 3 lawyers for 20 minutes each, please PM me if you've experienced their interview. I am not at an Oxbridge uni so quite daunted by the fact that 75-90% of their intake seems to be oxbridge educated (at least from linkedin).
