    I totally agree ! I remember last year I didn't get to WG for FF but my friend did and went onto AC. When I viewed at her app afterwards I was shocked. It was littered with typos, she had spelt the firm name wrong and included lots of generic statements e.g. "I want to work at FF as it is Magic...

    Online BPP LPC/GDL- Will you still move?

    They have FINALLY released start dates on the VLE. Also I saw on VLE it said registration starts from the 20th July but believe that is for accelerated only as I haven’t heard anything. BPP really are not providing the best impression-just over a month to go and have no formal emails about...

    My friend received a TC offer from Latham last September after direct TC. So they definitely do. Believe W&C also offer fill 30% of their spaces with direct apps, according to chamber student. Other firms the odds aren’t so great. For instance, I know Gibson reserves one space for direct and...

    Bakers AC - who is our competitors?

    I wouldn’t just say international firms. That’s quite broad. Look into the firms practice strengths and THEN the industries/clients they operate within those practice areas. For instance Skadden and Bakers both have band 4 ranked debt finance . However Skadden works on much higher value...
