    Has anyone applied to white & case with a-levels that don't meet their requirement, and gotten past app stage?
    Yes, I got to their final interview last year, however I do have serious mitigating circumstances regarding my A-Levels, and my university grades are all 1sts apart from two 2:1s.

    They seemed more bothered with my university results and gave me positive feedback on them, and encouraged me to continue achieving high grades.

    Not me getting notifications in this thread, getting excited to see if there were any updates, only to find a debate over whether an anonymous account belonged to one person or a new person... like in reality, is it that deep? Does it really impact anything?

    I may as well be up front and honest... I am not really a cat in real life (also insert the one Zoom courtroom gif of the guy who couldn't turn off the filter).
