    Hey guys! Random question here. Does anyone know of a centralised place where firms requirements for uni grades are required. I heard recently that HSF(K) rejects applications with any 2:2s in modules which would explain why I was almost instantly rejected last year after meeting the benchmark...

    Cannot seem to figure out how it’s going for PW. Assuming PFO as I have grown to with all firms, but it seems a fair few invites have been sent out so logistically I don‘t see how more would go out :(

    I am assuming PFO. For spring, all the VIs went out on 16th December and then PFO rolled around much later. I think all VI are sent in one batch so that‘s a shame but oh well :(

    I think mishcon PFO is likely - looking back for Spring VS all invites to VI were sent Dec 16th :(
