I made a mistake on an application, as I said I started secondary school in 2014 rather than 2013. Should I email grad rec?

No - this will not be an issue.

For Addleshaw Goddard there is a section in the application that says,

"Use this space to tell us about any mitigating circumstances that you might have, any scholarships or awards that you have achieved or any other information, such as your preferred pronouns"

Would it be appropriate to mention any volunteering achievements here or is it restricted to the aforementioned.

Sometimes when I make applications, I can literally see that I'm not gonna get anything from it lol, and it's so hard to move past that feeling and just apply anyway (writing this as I'm applying for an open day that I can tell I'm not gonna get) 🥹

Has Shearman closed their summer VS app early? Deadline is 15 Jan and was planning to apply but I can only see the spring VS there

To make things worse, I have emailed the assessment provider and my email has been blocked 😭

Just got an offer of an extension! What a relief!!

I sent an email to GR. They said you can include your extracurricular activities to this section if you feel it is relevant to the form.

 

[yasmars]

Can someone confirm if Addleshaw Goddard recruits on a rolling-basis?

They are not rolling

 

[futuretrainee2025]

They are not rolling

I thought they were. Did you ask GR?

 

[yasmars]

I thought they were. Did you ask GR?

Yes I asked them a few hours ago
