Has anyone heard back following VI for CMS dubai?

Hi everyone, does anyone have any experience of asking firms for reasonable adjustments at assessment centres? I have dyslexia and receive extra time in university exams. I have an AC with AG coming up and feel I would benefit from extra time but not sure how this will be received - I wouldn't want for them to subconsciously discriminate because I took extra time to finish a task but equally want to make sure I perform to the best of my ability.

@Jessica Booker Do you know how AG deal with reasonable adjustments at AC's?

Oh Yes, I asked the GR team of US firm extra time for the written exercise. I just sent them my assessment report and they easily accommodated my request.

Firms have always been super accommodating with this for me - I’ve found I’ve always been at more of a disadvantage when I haven’t told them at the beginning of the process as opposed to when I have

I have only heard the requirement is to achieve a 2.1. They may screen candidates based on higher grades, but I have not heard of offers being contingent on a particular grade above a 2.1 for your undergraduate.

Some firms used to request a commendation or above in the GDL/LPC though.

Hey! I am just curious - has anyone heard back from HL?

 

[Lawyaa]

Does anyone know the dates of the HFW spring vac scheme?

 

[futuretrainee2025]

just my luck lol I've caught a cold and sniffing/coughing quite a bit but I have an AC on Thurs. Should I let the firm know? I'd rather go in person but I'm scared I could get progressively worse

 

[avry]
