    Gibson Dunn Vacation scheme interview (30m partner interview, article review 30m with another partner, HR interview (15m)):

    · Looked through my app – said I didn’t get an A* in Economics A-level (as I have A* GCSE+Alevel grades for everything else) was I disappointed I didn’t get A*? just an A? Why was that?

    · Why Gibson Dunn?

    · What about how it compares to Cleary Gottlieb and Linklaters

    · What do you think the real difference between US and UK firms are?

    o Is it just cohort size??

    · Why did you not pursue a barrister route? - > teamwork > How was playing netball?

    Other interview was an article review – which position did you take? Etc…….
