Hi all, if I received a VS offer firm but was unable to accept this offer, do I mention this under the same section I talked about a VS I had at another firm? Or should I leave it out? Thanks!

Hello! Just wondering if anyone happens to have any experience in a Farrer & Co TC interview?

Hi does anyone have any experience with Collyer Bristow? More specifically, do they sponsor the GDL/LPC? I can't find it anywhere on the website. Thanks

No - you leave it out unfortunately.

People don’t highlight what they chose not to do in applications.

I am just going over my Freshfields statement. How many points/reasons would you recommend to answer 'why Freshfields?'. I realised I only have 2, and wasn't sure if that was enough.

Hello, does anyone know what Rosenblatt's trainee salary is, please? I can't find any info on the web.

Anyone have advice on Morgan Lewis telephone interview?

 

[ElleWoods]

Invite to BDB Pitmans stage 2 assessment centre!
Shall I prepare competencies, the firm, and current affairs - same as for the first AC?
Does anyone know why some firms have two AC stages?

Thank you and good luck for the TI!

If they are two clearly rationalised and evidenced points that is fine.

Thank you

How long after you applied, did you receive the WGT?

@Jessica Booker I messed up on an application I just submitted - I wrote that I achieved 78% in a module, but now that I've checked my transcript I realized I achieved 76%. Do I email grad recruitment? Or is the difference so minimal it doesn't really matter?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

I’d wait to see if you are successful at getting an interview, and if you are, at that stage then inform them of the discrepancy.

It does matter, but there’s little point informing them until you know you have been shortlisted.

I received a reply for my DWF application today, just in case anyone is waiting to hear back!

Hi @Jessica Booker a quick question about A-Level grades, if you don't mind. If a firm asks whether AAB and you got A*AC on the application (yes/no answer) - what's the right answer as the grades asked for are worth the same UCAS points but are not AAB?

Hi @Jessica Booker

In my Freshfields direct app I said I hadn’t applied to any roles before but found out a few years ago I applied for a conflicts FTC role which I completely forgot about.

Would that hinder me?

Has anyone received the interview invite from Slaughter & May for the March 2024 Law cycle, or been rejected yet?
