Hi guys, just reading over an application I submitted yesterday - I rushed it a little as I thought the deadline was midnight but I think it's actually midnight today. I realised I made two mistakes: - 'Supreme Court Victory' capitalised the V in victory - 'vital in becoming lawyer' (should...- therealellewoods

Does ‘ Wednesday ‘ as the deadline mean Tuesday midnight? Saw elsewhere ‘ Wednesday midnight ‘ but does that still mean Tuesday midnight or Wednesday midnight? For Morgan Lewis- therealellewoods

I Definitley agree! I think in context of my grades they were an under performance but potentially not the best example so I’ll probably try and think of a different example. Thank you!! Thanks so much ☺️- therealellewoods

Thank you for this! The firm specifies ‘high’ 2:1s so I was worried low 2:1s would make me a weaker candidate in this instance but I totally agree they’re not necessarily a failure and I’m probably too harsh on myself. I wanted to use the example because I really did learn from it but after...- therealellewoods

Hi everyone, could someone please help me with understanding whether finance and private equity are to be spoken about separately? e.g. finance like banks etc and then PE like PE firms. But does private equity come under finance? e.g. if I said 'im interested in both finance and private equity'...- therealellewoods

Hi Jessica! I'm answering a similar question. I got two low 2:1 grades in the final year of university and then finished with good 2:1s and two firsts. I was thinking about speaking about this and saying how the failure was underperforming in my grades because of burnout/not implementing enough...- therealellewoods

I work in a law firm and I think a part of why law firms track non-billable hours is so you can show what you've been doing with your time. e.g. if you only recorded 1 chargeable hour one day recording 5 hours of NC might show why. Also I think maybe because it also shows how many hours are...- therealellewoods

I just saw someone post earlier in the forum that their grad recruitment said 400-500 would of been an ideal length (something along those lines) but that's good to know thank you. I hope they won't- therealellewoods

Hi everyone. I watch this forum frequently but haven't posted before. I was wondering if people could tell me where they at with the same firms so I could manage my expectations? DLA Piper - Applied and did WG but not heard anything since. My portal hasn't even updated since 20th Dec. HL -...- therealellewoods
