Milbank stage one test invite! Applied yesterday. Is this test an SJT? Does it contain VI questions or is there a WG? Would appreciate any insight!​

A very peculiar sjt + 2 open questions. No VI! Congrats 😊

Are any of these motivation-based? Trying to plan my next few weeks of application prep 🫠

Did anyone get that Linklaters email?

Yes! I never got an email like this last year.

Wonder if they are rejigging their grad rec/the way they review and trying to be friendlier.
