Hi Maya,I don't ask this question for my benefit (I have just graduated but I am taking a gap year), but for the benefit of those with LPCs who are in the middle of their application cycle. From your post (and please correct me if I am wrong) I understand that Ropes & Gray is not the only law firm to not accept LPC students but only those who have studied the SQE per "like many other firms...". Could you clarify what other law firms in the market do not allow LPC students to apply to them, even if they intend to do the SQE? Again, not for my benefit, but for the benefit of those that might be looking at firms and are (rightfully) concerned about this trend.Thank you so much for taking time to answer these questions!
