Sorry im not sure.

Also, I mentioned earlier that there are no TIs invovled. A phone interview is the next stage after the application. See:
Nws thanks. Isn’t a ti the same as a phone interview?

Hi everyone, first time posting on here! I've just received an email to say I've been invited to take the Reed Smith virtual assessment and interview - if anyone has any tips I would be extremely grateful for any replies or DMs. I am pretty nervous as I've never done a virtual interview like this before!
Congratulations!!! Could you share if possible by when you had submitted your application?

    just received my results today and i got a 2:1 from a low RG uni. Can't help but feel like my city law firm dreams just went down the drain...😭
    I got a 2:1 (non-law) and got past the first stage for several city firms, including a US one (I just suck at online tests)

    More applicants probably have a 2:1 than a first, so its what you do on top of your academics that can really make your app stand out. Obviously some firms value grades, but for others its just a checkbox and they like seeing what else you've done/can do.

    2:1 is what you need for the large majority of graduate roles, it's a good achievement - well done!
