    Help! Error in my submitted application

    Yes I would. I'd just flag it up together with how the sentence should read in full. It sounds like more of an administrative error than a mistake you made, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    Looking for past cover letters or online forms

    The ex-CEO of autonomy was just charged with fraud in the US: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46397367. Interestingly, Mike Lynch is a longstanding client of Slaughter and May. I talked about this HP-Autonomy story in some of our M&A classes. HP bought Autonomy in 2011 for $11.7bn. A year...

    Confidence boost

    I knew if I asked you this question, you'd provide a very valuable, honest response. Thanks Leke, you've got a knack for writing these reflective posts. It's a good reminder that students with TC's also had to cope with rejection.

    Dechert Commercial question

    Thanks. Applicants usually use this question to talk about themselves/their interest in the firm, especially information they haven't had an opportunity to bring up yet. You can still talk about a commercial issue, but I'd check whether there's anything you can add about yourself/why you'd be a...

    Dechert Commercial question

    PWC Legal Summer Vacation Scheme

    Hmm it depends on what you're predicting. If you don't think it's a stretch for you to secure a 1st (and that's what you're predicting) then go for that. Otherwise, I'd go for a 2:1.
