Whattttttt

I’ve still not heard back from milbank for 3 weeks after doing stage 1.

I applied for lev fin is anyone else that’s waiting also lev fin 😭😭 or those progressed what did you apply for.

Got rejected for lev finance today, never got stage 2

 

[nbjani]

hey it incldues a mini sjt, verbal reasoning (you have to read a passage and select the right answer), and two short written exercises (around 200 words each). Good luck!

Super helpful! I’ve never done a written exercise before :/ so is there no motivational section? Seems so odd because there’s no app questions either.

Wait really🥲 I’m soo sorry to hear that.

I thought most get the stage 2. Unless lev fin is more strict🤔 maybe you have to write about lev fin in the questions.

May I ask when you applied > did tests and was it for spring or summer?
etc sorry just gauging my fate although never saw myself progressing super far with the firm!

Lucky you have BCLP in interview in Jan

This is what I have received, I also thought that it was non-rolling so I was surprised (but in a good way!) And yes, it is a pre-recorded interview but only voice is sent to them

I think spring !

Hi guys! Would it be fair to assume that law-related work experience (for the purposes of the DWF application form) doesn't include things like mentoring students who are going through the Oxbridge law admissions process?

If anyone has any tips, I'd be super grateful!

This for spring/summer? If so, hope you don’t mind if I ask when you got the invite/when you applied?

 

[nbjani]

DLA AC!!!! This is my first ever AC invite ever, I’m equally excited and terrified! Thanks to everyone on here for the helpful tips and general good vibes.
Question - what’s the likelihood of them letting me do another AC date? This one is the day before my FLK1 🫠😂

 

[Dannie]

If anyone has done the W&C VI would really appreciate some insights, happy to also return the favour with a number of firms including slaughters and may, mishcon, HL, FF Mayer Brown and more!

 

[elle woods]

😭 would anyone have any insights into Weil, Mayer Brown or Kirkland VI please?
