A bunch of firms have links to practice WGs on their grad rec pages - can't remember exactly which but off the top of my head I think Clifford Chance, Linklaters, A&O and White & Case(?) should have them

Through to the NRF WVS AC!! If anyone has been through the process before, any tips or advice would be much appreciated 
Was this for the summer or spring scheme?
And if you don’t mind me asking, what were your strengths in your report ?
You're not alone at all! Please let me know if you need any help 😊Thank you so much for your kind words, Avni. So reassuring to hear that I am not alone in my thoughts, it's easy to forget this sometimes!
Hi there, so I have A*AC and I constantly worry about the C - I know it's a bit better than ABC, but it still makes me worry. However, it has never held me back - I've had ACs with Baker McKenzie, A&O, Mayer Brown, King & Spalding and a couple of others and not once did they ask me about it. I think the key is to really sell yourself in your application and prove what you can bring despite some A-level grades say about you. As you said, you've done well since, so it is just a case of persevering. After all, to be blunt, there's not anything you can do now - so just prove yourself in other ways. Good luck!
Hey! Has anyone heard back from HL in relation to BaSE Gold?
Same
I don't even know what didn't work. Thought I had a good interviewNope, it is not necessary you have to show that you are interested in and understand the topic.
Some firms questions will explicitly ask for this, in which case yes. If it's not prompted by the question, I'd actually avoid it as then you're not really answering the question at hand in part of your answer.
This said, I would generally tend to select a business story that is relevant to the firm to show that your interests align with theirs but not everyone will agree on that point and it depends on the firm.
Apologies if this seems like a silly question but for the question
"Describe your greatest non-academic achievement of the last two years and why this achievement is important to you."
is it best to answer it in a STAR structure or would you just write about what the achievement is/entailed in one paragraph and then another separate point for why it's important?

NRF AC! Any advice would be very appreciated!!
Spring (attention to detail/social adaptability/ and something else I forgot) But got the same result for last cycle and passed in the previous so I was quite surprised!
Anyone else still waiting post-VI for Simmons Winter?
Also anyone else who applied for Bird & Bird Spring and haven't heard back post-WG?
