Maybe it isn’t a PFO after all. Dechert WE invite at last lmfao. This is for the Spring VS. I applied early Dec so over 6 weeks ago. I’m surprised cos I don’t meet their A-level requirements.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’m not sure tbh. Usually a firm will state if they’re after consistent 2:1 or high 2:1.

It shouldn’t matter too much for most firms with the exception of maybe Slaughters, Cleary, Davis Polk and SullCrom who want high 2:1s. I have a few 2:2 modules but mostly strong 2:1 and 1st’s and have gotten past app stage with Akin, Willkie, Skadden, Weil and Gibson Dunn. I went to a...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
