Anyone know which firms actually prioritise RG/Oxbridge grads?
I understand that there is a huge misconception that firms prioritise RG candidates when in reality this is largely incorrect. However, does anyone know of firms that actively do engage in this practise?
i.e. Sherman and sterling have 4% non RG trainees.

In fact I asked for and received the WG report from Linklaters after their PFO from the winter vac, and I did exceptionally well, so what the heck were they looking for?
I'd be interested in getting a WG report for Hogan Lovells too, but I can't find the relevant contact info.
HSF PFO for summer VS - applied on the deadline if anyone wanted to know
Yes it was automatic but I had completed the actual VI itself about a month before
