This is really great advice but to add onto this something someone told me about this question a person who reached their AC said 50:50 split between the topic and why it interests you hope that is helpful.

@izzy1036 I think this with Jessica's are great advice that I think you should take into account too!

Hey everyone, regarding my application to Gowling, today the portal message changed to: Status: Your assessment is in progress. We wish you the best of luck" however, i never received an email from them regarding an invite to an online test.

Do you think I should email grad rec to ask? As i have seen some updates on here regarding PFOs for Gowling

Definitely! That looks very strange.

Anything from White & Case post-AC for WVS? I haven't heard anything, and the scheme starts on Monday.

Thank you! I thought so too, however i cant seem to find their grad rec email on the website, do you by any chance know it?

 

[s9111]

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from Slaughters re the Summer Schemes?
