    That’s way too much text for forage, you need to cut that down. Keep it to two lines max on your cv, ideally 1. Also ensure to mention it’s a fictional exercise in the description. Edit: forage adds so little to you cv, some people just list all the firm names as it wastes too much space otherwise

    Hi Axel It’s really shocking that there are even worse stories out there. But how could that change in your opinion? Most firms are already boasting about using rare recruitment, not allowing applications from an employees family member, blind CV interviews etc etc. Is that just all marketing?

    You could’ve just said you’d rather not share or ignored it all together. Clearly they hit a soft spot…

    I replied to a similar question a couple days ago but the VS is still closed. TC apps open feb 2024. Not sure if they are doing VS this year. Edit: I didn’t email them but that’s what their website said a couple days back

    I know from some friends in IB that it’s very common to retake online tests at AC’s. There you can be about +-5 points of what you originally scored and if not you don’t pass the AC. Not sure if it’s the same for law.

    I thought that too but I received a non-automatic email response… I don’t know if I’d just make it worse

    No it’s an email 😭😭😭😭😭 Edit: the mistake is the subject line and the body of the text 🫠

    Hi the absolute genius that I am, I managed to apply to Davis Polk open day and spelled their name wrong EVERY TIME. I thought it was Davies, not Davis. What are the chances for an immediate rejection? 99%? I’m so stupid.

    What’s going on with Bakers? Has anyone spoken to them recently? Their applications are still closed and it’s November.

    Totally but some are better than others like intellect vs time management.

    I feel like a good way to judge is if you get generic strengths on your report. If it’s things like time management it means you didn’t do well. When I got to the AC stage last year my strengths section of the report was a lot more substantial
