    Which would make me more appealing to law firms: an LLM at UCL or an MSc at King's?

    In all honesty, neither. LLMs are pointless when it comes to recruitment - don’t waste your money.

    That’s honestly so poor. There was another guy who interviewed with Sidley who was told several weeks later that they’d lost his interview feedback report. It seems to be a pattern.

    Have you not emailed them? Six weeks is mad when you've had an actual interview.

    But if you accept that he’s also a minority, then aren’t you also dismissing his experience? This seems quite hypocritical.

    In terms of the general population? Yes. Sorry I thought we were talking about the general population - that seemed like the comparator the other poster was going for.

    At trainee level? Yep women outnumber men in many large firms; drops off a cliff at partner though.

    Anybody got an AC for Simmons London? It’s been nearly 4 months since I did my test.

    True, but they could at least process the rejections, of which there will be hundreds.

    Absolutely fair enough, but wouldn't it make a lot more sense, and save them a lot more time, if they reviewed applications progressively whilst making sure that they are all in fact reviewed so as to not disadvantage anyone?

    Five months since I submitted my Shearman app and I've had no response. I have to be honest, it's really poor.
