Wow, thanks for telling me. It is a real shame, I feel like this might worsen social mobility. Now they basically only have grades and the university you went to when filtering applications :/ I'm sure there will still be Watson Glaser tests, but I do feel like the application questions gave...- Apple

I have a 2:2 in 3 modules, finished with a mid 2:1. I've managed to interview at Slaughters, White & Case, Jones Day etc. I had the same concern, but I really don't think the law firms are bothered, especially if you have a first!- Apple

Pretty sure the "guaranteed interview" is misleading. It is guaranteed if you meet their arbitrary requirements, which can be judged on work experience, test results etc etc. So it really isn't guaranteed.- Apple

Receiving a VS offer at Milbank is an incredibly small chance in itself, and yet here you are with the offer. Try to stay positive and not get bogged down by numbers, even though its easier said than done, and I'm certainly guilty of it myself.- Apple

The upcoming cycle is going to be my 2nd application since graduating. I've only been doing retail work and volunteering in this time. Is this something I am likely to be questioned on during interviews? IDK why but it feels like I've done nothing with my time, but I'm committed to law so I...- Apple

Do you guys think Trump's crackdown on DEI is going to mean firms begin to move away from or completely cease to use contextual data in considering applications? I don't know what the full extent of things are, but I've seen 20+ law firms changing their DEI policies.- Apple

in my experience firms reimburse you for travel expenses after the open day/AC, not before. And even then I've waited over a month to actually receive it before.- Apple

if you qualify, Aspiring Solicitors have a free programme that has webinars, 1:1 calls etc - all centred around preparing you to convert the VS to a TC.- Apple

I don't see why it would be selfish, you don't have a TC yet so are interviewing for a TC, thats what everyone does.- Apple
