Finished Reed Smith's VI and online test about 9 days back, just got an email today saying they will be in touch with an update soon. Also checking Reed Smith's application Q&A says they recruit on a rolling basis. Does this mean I got impliedly rejected? 😅
No - they are saying they haven’t made a decision yet, probably because they haven’t had the time to review applications yet.

Hogan Lovells WG invite!

Does anyone know if this is automatic or not? I don't meet their a-level requirements, so I'm hoping this means they're taking my mitigating circumstances into account and progressing me anyway.
It's not automatic. Applications are reviewed first. Hence the length of time between submission and receipt of WG invite.

I was told by grad recruitment that they only look at applicants’ responses to the online questions (thoroughly) if you’ve passed the Watson Glaser, and that one reason they have it is to make their lives easier with less applications to review? Unless you mean something different?
