Congratulations well deserved and know open days are really competitive to get into so think of this as an achievement.Mayer Brown Open Day! things are starting to pick up yayyy
I didn’t as it didn’t need to be addressed to anyone so I assumed all formalities were dispensed withFor anyone else whose applied to Jones Day, did you sign off at the end of your cover letter? With only 300 words, it seems like a major waste, but I also want it to look proper...
How quickly did you hear back after applying? I’ve applied with Spring vac schemeHi, I didn't and they gave me an interview. The word count is so short so I just jumped straight into my answer.
But still better than getting the you didn't meet the test benchmark score, so count it as a still in it to win it!So I got a message from HSF saying I’ve passed the online test but that I won’t hear whether I’m through to the next stage until after the application deadline. Anyone else in the same boat?
Seems a little harsh to give us hope by sending through the test only to say it might not matter anyway.
Ohh you're unstoppable! I'm rooting for you🏆Holding myself accountable - one new app:

Sameee 🤩 🤩DLA Test passed. Great start to week.
I'm in the same boat, I received an e-mail this morning telling me I have passed the WG. I got excited because I thought this meant I was through to the next round - have you heard anything by chance?The DLA Piper email (having passed the WG) says “Our team will carefully review all candidates who have reached this stage and shortlist those who will progress to the next phase”.
Does this mean the WG was automatic? I thought shortlisted applicants were invited to take the WG in the first place.
You are jumping a bit ahead of yourself as some are trying to get to where you are.Has anyone heard post DLA VI?
