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...
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!
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.
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.
