I think so. I’ve never seen so many gifs in my lifetime.

Personally, I think I deserve a bage of my own

Does anyone know what is good a score on the PWC game? I got 8500. Just curious.

It definitely will not disadvantage your application and I'd really strongly recommend letting the firm know about your circumstances! I think firms are more than used to making adjustments like this anyway. Perhaps @Jessica Booker can give you more insight

Definitely won't disadvantage you by requesting it. Time adjustments to assessments are pretty common.

You will be disadvantaged though if you don't request the adjustment.

Hey - if you email grad rec explaining how much extra time you usually get and with evidence, eg a report, then I’m sure they will allow you extra time. I’ve done this will acs at different City firms and never been refused. Good luck with your ac

Hi, okay great. Thank you so much!

No problem I am sure you will get them as well. What university are you at if you do not mind me asking. Your applications must have been really well drafted then.

Hello, guys, I am in the process of applying to HFW. Their application question is that using your existing knowledge of HFW, please suggest one way in which we might develop/ grow the firm, or enhance our legal service to clients?

For this question can I talk about diversity because they recently started to promote more female partners. Also, sorry @Jaysen if I posted this question in this thread because I didn't know in which thread to ask this question.

not even a WG invite, and it’s got me panicking a little bit.

Sorry I don't wanna disclose my university. But thank you. I recommend keeping up to date on potential trends as well as current trends - that seemed to have helped.

Hi, really stuck on this application question: "Tell us about an outstanding personal achievement which added value to your academic or work environment." I don't really understand what its asking? Would appreciate any thoughts

Hi has anyone applied to Reed Smith. I submitted the research application questions after getting through online application and judgement test. But haven’t heard anything since emailing my research questions on 12th January. I know it isn’t that long ago but want to see if anyone has heard back yet
