Anyone who has the Gateley AC - does your info sheet say the placement week is in Manchester? I am slightly confused 💀
same, but I would like to know whether they look at the application again.
No single answer for this - it is entirely firm-dependent. I would say the latter is more common but there are also many firms who view the VI/application form in conjunction, possibly alongside other tests as well, when making AC decisions.
It’s one of those frustrating things where you really just have to look at how each individual firm conducts their recruitment process.

It is usually a combination of both but this may vary from firm to firm so it is difficult to say objectively.

You would be surprised. Many of the larger firms are now taking interns, then keeping them on when they are NQ and indeed the qwe is all relevant to their practice area rather than 6 months in 4 different areas. Thus they are better at that area than a NQ trainee. Same as FILEX solicitors always were.
And indeed sometimes interns who have SQE behind them are switched by firms who like them onto their training contracts.
I think the ones that mention on their website that they have a VI benchmark for the AC, they only look at the VI
Morgan Lewis VS !!! Yipppeee 🥳
Yes but then I dont get why do they progress the application to the VI, if they have to review the form again.
The word “good” explains what the system was trying to achieve.
The idea is that the good firms fund anyway and the self finders get the rest of the firms who save on SQE costs but lose out on training.
It creates a weird scenario where qualifying can become a negative if you have big firm ambitions but had bad application cycles and only widens the two tier gap
My understanding is that you can if it's a LLM SQE course, so on that note does anyone have a list of firms where the SQE course they put you through is a LLM lol
yet another reason it's funny to hear the SQE be called more accessible
