[QUOTE="futuretraineesolicitor, post: 92348, member: 4098"] Hello [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] , hope you are doing well. Could you please help me with some questions from the Freshfields' application. I have tried looking for answers on the "Ask Alice" thread but I think I still don't understand how to go about answering some of these questions. 1: This is regarding " Please tell us about any awards, scholarships or prizes you have been given in no more than 100 words." [B]a) This only requires a list of achievements/awards/scholarships and no explanation of those things whatsoever, right? b) Can we add the TCLA scholarship here?[/B] 2: Are you, or do you expect by virtue of your degree to be, exempt from the GDL/PGDL? No idea what they mean here since under the CCP, it's going to be mandatory for everyone to undertake the PGDL. [B]Should I say yes or no?[/B] 3: " If the LPC or SQE remains to be taken, when do you intend to start it? Please state which course you intend to start if self-funding (enter N/A if not relevant)" - [B]Again, I think N/A would fit the best here? [/B] 4: "In no more than 100 words, please let us know anything further which you think is relevant to your application, for example any mitigating circumstances which may have impacted your grades, time in education, opportunities for work experience or extracurricular activities. Otherwise, please enter N/A." [B]My mitigating circumstances are more than a 100 words in word count and I also have an attachment with it. Again, there is no way to attach this kind of document in the portal itself. So, should I write N/A here or leave it blank as I won't be able to use this box to convey anything and in all probability, I'd have to mail them. 5: " [/B]Freshfields offers two intakes in each recruitment year (spring and autumn). Which intake would you prefer to join? (Please note that while we will do our best to accommodate your preference, we cannot guarantee that you will be offered a place in the intake of your choice.)[B]" Again, no idea how to answer this at all.[/B] Thanks in advance.[B][/B] [/QUOTE]
