Womble Bond Dickinson said they would get back to people on the week commencing 25th March, and I just wanted to ask if there is even a chance for me to progress to the virtual AC based on my Amberjack Assessment feedback report? I got top band for Verbal Intellect, middle band for Numerical Intellect. As for the 4 pillars I got:
Grit: 6; Applied Intellect: 4; Creative Force: 7; Digital Mindset: 9
yeh deffo - got an AC and got top for verbal, bottom for numerical, and then 6,7,4,4

I think SH just doesn't send a PFO email if they don't consider your app. I applied back in October and selected all three schemes (winter, spring and summer) and haven't heard anything, not even a holding email. That being said, I have seen SH send test/interview invites in April/May so I wouldn't lose hope completely. Just for those that applied 6 months ago, it's pretty poor communication from the firm imo.
I got a holding email today!

Had an interview last Wednesday and they said they’d get back to me end of the week/ beginning of this week. Still nothing, should I send an email to ask, or would this be too pushy?
I would wait until next week as they might be really busy and with the holidays coming up they might not be as responsive. Send an email after the 8th of April if you do not hear anything before then.

Why are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps? Just off my head, I can remember that SH, Akin, Cooley, Dechert all said this. Are they being nice to not hurt applicants feeling, are some firms just getting more visibility or is the number of career seeker in the legal industry increasing in general? Genuine curiosity🧐

With online presence rising I think more people find out about firms they have never heard of or considered. With application forms being online and more sites like this one listing and prompting people students are just more aware of firms. With the cost of living in London more are applying to highly paid firms. More people who may end up working in regions apply to London and think if I can do that for 5 years I can buy a house outright if I move back home then.
