[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 158350, member: 29628"] Thank you for your response. In the absence of any clarity, I am going to assume that this “business decision” has purely been made on the premise of reducing the amount of applications that come in, as I can’t see any difference in resource allocated to sorting out qualification. On that note, I would say that I think the firm has made a huge mistake and should instead look to firms such as DLA Piper, who don’t impose a deadline but simply close the deadline when enough applications have been received. As for your message on “other firms” again it lacks a lot of clarity. I appreciate you may not be able to name the firms, but I think it’s important to back up such statements - especially when stating such things may cause a little panic amongst the applicants. If this is not possible, I would quite simply refrain from stating them at all. As I’m sure you would understand, these opportunities are things all applicants have worked hard for - opportunities that they often doubt they can get - I fear it’ll just push more people closer to the edge of quitting their dreams if they start to worry people in their position will no longer be considered. Bottom line, I think for now - all that needs to be said is that the only firm we are aware of that will not consider LPC students/graduates is Ropes & Gray. As for other firms, we would suggest one does their own research. Thank you for your well wishes, and good luck with the recruitment year. [/QUOTE]
