Would it be reasonable to send W&C grad rec an email? I sent off my Winter VS application 5 weeks ago and have not heard anything - I haven't been rejected nor invited to AC/VI etc. The scheme is in a few weeks so I don't really have positive expectations at this point lol
I sent them an email three weeks ago, as am in the same position as you, 15/11 they replied saying they are still reviweing applications....

Anyone want to do a CMS app review of each other apps ideally someone applying for London as I am thinking of applying for regional office. It will be great to review each other apps if anyone is interested lmk.

For the Willkie VI, does anyone know if the firm intends to get back to candidates with a result 3 weeks (15 working days) after the VI deadline we were given or 3 weeks after the VS deadline?

hey - wondering if anyone knows why Clifford chance has sent a wg invite even though I passed last year ? Does this mean they no longer take your old score OR are they allowing you the choice of a redo ?

Any info/clarification is appreciated.

I passed the WG last year and haven’t received another WG.

If you passed last year, you should get the following email:

“I am pleased to confirm that as you previously completed and passed the test within the last two recruitment cycles with us, you do not need to do the test again this year.

Your application will now be progressed to the next stage of our process: application review. We do not recruit on a rolling basis and therefore all applications will be reviewed once the deadline has closed. Please expect to hear whether we would like to progress your application further, after this date.

You will be informed whether you are invited to the video interview stage week commencing 2nd December.”

    Hi - How to go about answering this question in 200 words. Describe your proudest achievement and what challenges you have had to overcome. Like what should be the split between the two questions, should challenges and how it was overcome be more? How many days does CMS provide for doing the Watson Glaser?
