    Hey! I think every law firm has a section on their application where you can explain the grading system of your undergraduate degree. Utilise it wisely

    I have a genuine question wrt to WG tests. Is it easily detectable if you use chatgpt? Does grad rec immediately flag it? Or? Would love jessica’s insight on this :)
