I filled in the reasonable adjustment Microsoft forms for FF stage 2 test because I forgot that I’d already asked for adjustments on my initial application form. Should I still wait for grad rec to contact me before doing the test or should I do it anyway and hope that the adjustments I...- whywhy88

I have seen a few posts about Jones Day AC invites. Are these for the spring or summer scheme? Applied for spring yesterday and am thinking it might have been a better idea to apply for summer if people are already getting AC invites for spring...- whywhy88

@Abbie Whitlock I wonder if you could give me some advice on one of the CC application questions. It asks ‘what are your motivations for applying to Clifford Chance?’. How much of my answer should be dedicated to the firm itself? Should I also include ‘why commercial law’ within my answer? Thank...- whywhy88

Is anyone aware of what the benchmark is for Links WG? Did the test for spring VS the other day and emailed grad rec for my score, turns out im in the 57% percentile but I scored 30/40. Is this too low?- whywhy88

First rejection of the cycle :( HSFK WVS, post-meeting test benchmark. On one hand I'm not surprised as I don't meet the 2.1 in every module requirement (albeit with mitigating circumstances), but on the other I am gutted as I thought my written application was quite strong. Ah well, onto the...- whywhy88
