    Oh no, tbh I agree and I agree with @Chris Brown's take that only hiring from "elite" unis lacks obvious context, and a holistic view as to how/why people choose their universities. I was simply arguing that saying Birmingham isn't one of the top universities seems wrong, when they are scored so...

    UOB is ranked 11th or 12th in the UK. I don't think you can really say it's not one of the top universities. Also, a lot of the top 100 are US universities. I'm gonna go out on a limb to say most US students are not coming to the UK to apply to a US firm following their law degree, but rather...

    I agree, but the way the sentences were phrased didn't correlate to the correct answer eg- "it is exactly 0.5% so we can give bonuses" when in fact it's under or "it is way above 5% so we can't give bonuses" when the correct answer is that it is exactly 5%. Although the action would be correct...

    Mmh yeah that's kinda what I figured unfortunately. It's frustrating because I genuinely feel that my app was one of my best as it was one of my top firms, and I've gotten to second stages with weaker apps this cycle imo so I'm not sure what more I could've done. Also frustrating that I've heard...

    For people that applied to PMC but have not heard back - what is the "last update" date for your application on their website? Mine is 04/01, which is the day after the deadline, and idk if that just means they processed my app or if it means they had my answer of PFO/next stage on the 4th?? (In...

    Irwin Mitchell PFO post app/VI - disappointing as I go to their AC last year but onwards and upwards!! Still waiting to hear from PMC post app (but ACs have gone out so not super hopeful), DACB post test, CRS post VI, Weightmans post app (has anyone heard from them btw I've not heard a peep)...

    Thank you!! Best of luck to you too! Honestly some of them took me soooo long to understand what they were asking, but there was one in particular where the correct answer to pick was definitely formulated in an incorrect way which it made it so confusing

    I also just completed WBD test- I got high for numerical and verbal and 6 for grit, applied intellect and digital mindset and 7 for creative force so 25/36. There was definitely a mistake in the numerical questions though right?? Like I spent so long double checking my calculations because the...

    Thanks both for your answers- I ended up not sending an email to the AC firm as, like you said, by being there I was demonstrating I was "fit to sit". It's really frustrating but I couldn't reschedule and did my best so that's all I can do at the end of the day. I did send an email to the VI...
