Do you happen to know what specific date it was, please? I also received mine on November 12th, so I am trying to "estimate" whether they have not gotten around to reviewing my application yet.It was a few days after I completed the test

Could anyone recommend any good resources for researching Addleshaw Goddard? I did not manage to attend any events hosted by them so if anyone knows where to find recordings of any or is willing to share notes I would be super grateful
Weil PFO post app despite having a strong application (TCLA reviewed). Depressing af.
weil pfo- no VI or anything? what’s that based on? my written responses?
Eversheds London VI! - Says its all strengths based situation questions. Does that mean we still have to give examples of how we've displayed these strengths in the past?
By the looks of it, they just wanna know how we’d respond. It seems more situational
weil pfo. literally went to their open day so no clue what even went wrong with my application
A lot of this process is luck as well, mate. You can have really strong academics/work exp/ application and still not make it because the particular Grad Rec person who chose to review application didn't like something. Hang in there and focus on your other apps and what you plan to do differently.
They are looking for a STAR-structured example from your work (preferably), university, or personal life where you demonstrated courage, tenacity, determination, grit, and versatility in a challenging situation and how you managed to turn things around. This will help them assess the qualities needed to be a successful trainee, as things don’t always go as planned, and they want to understand how you’ve handled such challenges in the past—since past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. If you don't have an immediate example, it’s okay to reflect and dig deeper—you likely have a relevant experience that will demonstrate these qualities. If not, as a last resort, I would excogitate something profound. But nothing too crazy or implausible....please 😂😂😂 Good luck!
I've realised that many of these questions implicitly test, among other things, emotional maturity. I wouldn't have a clue when I think of myself in my early 20's.
