    Skadden Insight Evening

    One of the questions on Skadden's apps is 'Please give details of any interests/hobbies you have outside of university/work.' Would the term 'university' include things related to university societies or would I be able to include them in my answer?

    I think they do screen applications first (grad rec, then a grad rec partner) and then people who get 60th percentile and above in the WG get put through to video interview! It explains the process on their website
