    I'm in this exact situation. With Freshfields we have the CV, so I made sure to detail both degrees on the CV and didn't worry too much past that because we simply couldn't't fit it in. I usually put all my modules in from both degrees and just label which university they came from. I did that...

    does anyone know how common it is to get past the WG at Linklaters? Is it similar to CC, where only 20-25% get through?

    Hey, I totally agree with your sentiment here. Not to be insensitive, was your Dechert for Spring or Summer?
