Just want to check, Latham say the deadline for their test is the deadline of the application. Therefore, do I need to have the test done by 02/01/2022 (summer vacation scheme deadline date)?

Apologies to bother you guys - I just had a couple of questions about the Skadden application form:

1. It asks students to give "secondary schools" attended - given that there is no point in the form where it asks students to list their sixth form, I assume that "secondary schools", for this purpose, includes the sixth form where I took my A Levels?
2. On the question asking for "significant gaps in your academic/employment history", does a gap year count as such a gap, and if so, do you think candidates would be expected to write anything other than the fact they had a gap year, and the dates this gap year took place?
3. On the cover letter, given that there's a word limit of just 300 words, do you reckon it'd be okay to leave out the sender's and recipient's address, the paragraph at the start where I state my name and my degree, and the paragraph before the "yours faithfully" bit where I thank the recruiter for taking the time to read my application?

Cheers in advance - I'd be really grateful for some pointers!

People who've applied to CC 2023 TC and either received a WG or the "maybe pile" email:

Have you completed and passed the WG in previous cycles?

I remember when I applied last year, I was skipped past the WG stage as I'd already passed the WG in a previous cycle (got rejected tho). Maybe this is why some people (myself included) haven't heard back yet, despite our applications already being updated?
