It’s automatic and they’ve been sending them out for a while. I got my WG invite 2 days after I applied.

Oh ok thank you!
I’m going round in circles because I saw previous comments to the contrary, and just confused. Still trying to remember what grad rec said during their presentation lol.
Thank you so much for your insight! I really appreciate it - genuinely really motivational & inspirational. 😊
If I may ask three quick follow-ups, I'd really appreciate it.
1.) I'd love to know if the fact that you didn't have experience of a VS came up in interview and, if so, how you responded to any questions about it.
2.) How did you find prepping for ACs and what was the most helpful thing you did?
3.) The fact you had such a succesful cycle is genuinely remarkable, doubly so since it was your first - I'd love to know what you felt your greatest strength was (and even how you developed that strength).
Again, I really appreciate your response - I hope you have a fantastic TC and beyond, you're going to smash it!

You. are. the. GOAT.
If you have any advice for mortals like me, please share. The Watson Glaser scares the life out of me so I'd love to know how to beat the beast 😂
I don't think it fast tracks you as the vac scheme application apparently has a blended assessment. So, i suppose it will just look valuable on an application.
Passed the WG for CC didn’t get an insight day - little bit upsetting, however to be honest it wasn’t my first choice and it’s only an insight day. Fingers crossed for the number one choice
Can't believe I am asking this on 4 Nov, but is anyone still waiting to hear from Sidley? This is for post-app...
Latham open day PFO, cba wasting my time on the actual VS app
Same dw - good things are definitely coming soon though. Just got to keep our heads up 🍀
This app cycle, I applied for an open day at HSF and was rejected. I decided to apply for their WVS anyway and made it to the AC stage.
I wouldn't rule out a VS place just because you were rejected for the open day!

Latham open day rejection, anyone have any insight if it’s still worth applying for the vacation scheme?
Hey guys, I had my W&C VI last week, and in between answering a question, I started mumbling a bit and froze. I havent been able to forgive myself since then, because I know how much it took me to get to that point, and I essentially feel like I fumbled the bag. I havent heard back, and every time my mail app sends a notification, my heart skips a beat. How do I forgive myself for this
Has anyone sat the Taylor Wessing online tes? Would appreciate any tips 😊
I also wondered whether they consider the test results in conjunction with your written ap or if it is purely test results after the online application stage?

Been rejected for a Skadden open evening where all you needed to submit was your university and degree dates…
I have been spending some time with the bane of my existence - the W*tson Gl*ser (censored in case anyone else is scared of it as much as i am)
I'd love to hear some thoughts on this assumptions question:
Statement - "[Dessert] restaurant must fill its ten missing staff posts as soon as possible. Otherwise, [Dessert restaurant] will be unable to cope with this summer’s influx of tourist customers."
'Assumption' - "There will be more customers this summer."
Now, apparently, the assumption is made. Maybe I'm overthinking this (is that not a good thing?) but I thought that an increase in 'tourist' customers is not the same as an increase in 'customers'. The restaurant might have an increase in 'tourist customers' but it is still possible that other kinds of customer demographics decrease, meaning that the total customers is the same or even might decrease.
I wish that there was a text box option in the watson glaser just so our reasoning (even if wrong) could be explained...
Please help!
Edit - also quick q for @Andrei Radu - I think you mentioned in a post that you made a Watson Glaser guide for yourself when taking the test. Would you by any chance be able to share that with us? Thank you

It will just be down to sheer number of applicants and them not being able to accommodate everyone who applies.
