    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hi Jessica, So I made an accidental mistake with one of my module grades on my CV. I inputed 72%, instead of 71% for one of my modules and now have an upcoming AC with the firm. Shall I inform them prior to my AC or let it be, since the percentage point makes no difference to my overall grade...

    Your thoughts required (again!)

    Hi, I think points should be gained depending on how community members interact with the posts. So if someone marks it friendly, useful, or agree etc, the poster should get points for each rating and the points gained can be a different amount per the interaction (ie. 5 for friendly, 4 for...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Guys have people had much luck with direct TCs in the summer without any formal vacation scheme? I feel as though there isn't much point in doing vacation scheme apps now that most firms are operating on a rolling basis and the deadline is extremely soon.

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Hi I was rejected from Linklaters Spring VS. I applied on the deadline and did the WG test 4 days later so probably one of the later applications. I received 33/40 for WG, in the 83% percentile so I think they make decisions heavily based on the situational judgements which is a bit surprising.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    My application did not include a work experiences section, but I think that is because I applied for a VS. My friend applied for TC and did include his work experiences. Is this correct or did I miss a whole section out lol?

For example, I'm most likely going to choose the 21st January date, but there are earlier dates next week on the...

    How to approach this 600 word question for Clifford Chance

    Hi guys! For the work experience section, would it be better to write in a STAR format or give details of what you did essentially? I was considering doing a mix as there is some stuff you can write in STAR, but others that you just need to highlight if that makes sense?
