If theres no way to enter individual modules then they won't need that information.

Really? Does it matter if you exceed 3 if it lets you? Ok perhaps I will do that then as it seems the most logical. However, I still find it a bit strange they don't want a grade breakdown per module.
There is a way, it just doesn't seem very logical - you can keep adding individual records for each module but then there is no option to put overall grade and degree title
One of my other applications didn't ask for individual module grades either (Irwin Mitchell, which had a very similar submission format).
With the work experience is that they specifically ask for 'up to 3' examples, so my concern is that I basically look like I can't follow simple instructions. Which I begrudgingly accept, since I gave double what they asked for. But given the amount of time I spent on the application, I hope that they won't PFO based purely on that...
Have you put more than 3 on the application? I have a lot more than 3 but haven't added more than what they've asked for.
Then that doesn’t seem like the way they want you to fill it in. Gowling was the same, you just put your degree result as a whole. No issues.
On that note, I wanted to say that I have submitted my last VS application and will now be taking a little break!
Thank you so much for all your help and support, I will be back when/if I have any updates. Best of luck to you all, so happy + proud of you!
P.s. Me anticipating application outcomes:
Ok so this has really motivated me to get my final application done... I've been procrastinating around it for too darn long
Also, good luck with it all and you can have a well deserved rest for a while haja
I've put six. When I was doing the application (in a Word document) I had three. Then when I came to uploading them, I forgot that it only asked for three because it allowed me to add more. So I ended up adding others. I only realised after I had submitted that that was what they had asked for.
Do you think I should email them? It says in the FAQ that you can ask them to change your work experience and education sections with additional info but I don't know if this means that they would remove excess info...
Telephone invite for Dentons! If anyone has any tips please let me know
I am still to submit which isn't ideal! I was just unsure as I usually have like 11 to add but I have only chosen 3. I would email if you are unsure/worried - please let me know what they say if you do!
It is screened first, this is what grad rec said on one of their online events
I wouldn't email, it just highlights a mistake and tbh they might not care too much.
That's what everybody else has said. My own instinct it to take ownership of it - it was an honest mistake because of the odd format of the application. But then I've been punished in the past for being honest/doing the right thing, so...
They are going to see that you have included 6 anyway so I think do what you think is the best thing to do. If you think there is no point then maybe just leave it.
I've just been invited to an interview at BCLP! Does anyone have any idea about what kind of questions they ask or any tips? Thank you!
I really doubt adding extra work experience will jeopardise your application. It's not like you've made a deliberate mistake/lied on your app. I'd personally leave it, I'm sure many have done the same especially as the format of the application wasn't clear at all!
Well done! Good to know they are starting to get back to people. When did you apply out of interest?
Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I'm just stressing because I don't want my hard work to be undone by silly mistakes!
