Congratulations on the interview! I applied 20 september but still have heard nothing. Should I then assume that it is a no go? :/

No! I think if you applied on the 20th you would of heard a long time ago if they didn’t want you. It might be a case they are doing it in batches
For all those interested in HSF updates... I got an holding update email this morning.
Pretty much just saying .. Your application is currently under review and we will be in touch in the next few weeks to advise on the outcome of your application.

Hey I applied late September and got the refrence request 2 weeks later. My tutor was late in handing the refrence but when she did I got an email the same day inviting me to an interview


Hey, how long did you wait for the interview invitation after you received the reference request?

Sorry to hear that ! Was it due to not passing the SJT or application in general ?
Has anyone got any advice for the hsf test? How hard is it??

Yeah absolutely, definitely know of people being slitted to other schemes. Pm me and I’ll help you with your interview


Hey, I’ve also got an interview with JD coming up. Would it be cool to PM you about your experience?

I found it hard. It’s blended so not just verbal reasoning. SJT too. Quite a few similar options which made it difficult. Use the usual practice tests which you can find online. The SJT element to me felt like there’s less practice you could do.
Potentially silly question, but Jones Day or Shearman? Am just asking in terms of prestige and reputation.

Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, or Allen & Overy yet?
