Linklaters 2019/20 Application

Grad rec emailed me on Thursday at 6pm to say my A level grades had not pulled through. I provided these details and then received an email yesterday to say my application was under review. They must not have even looked at mine until late on Thursday so it seems they are still going through applications. I applied for the vac scheme.

People have heard back already, so I was bracing myself for a rejection, but it does seem odd that they asked for information from me after people have already received invites...

not odd at all, they will have to get through a lot of applications and will invite people in stages.
