@Jessica Booker what is your opinion on including formative grades in our applications alongside our summative grades if we make it clear that they are formatives? I have scored some high results in my exams this year (better than last year) and I think they give a better picture of where I stand currently as a candidate. Of course, I could also make it clear that I am happy to provide evidence of these if asked.

Are you studying at a university where your not formally assessed until your final year?
Hi, this is my first post and first cycle!
Has anyone heard back from Gowling re the AC? The wait is nerve-wracking!

No, but last year they did VIs around the same time and got back to us at the end of Jan to give out ACs (for London office)
I think White & Case said at their open day that it was okay to include the virtual experience programme in the work experience section of their application. Does anyone remember/know if this is definitely the case? I don't want to include it incorrectly!
No, but I am in my second year and achieved a range of high 2.1s last year. This year I have achieved mid-firsts in my formatives and so I think it could help my application if graduate recruitment can see the development/upward trajectory if that makes sense? They're also a lot more recent and so a better picture of where I stand as an applicant at the moment. I could also just include my formative grades in the 'additional information/mitigating circumstances area instead and make it clear that they are formatives?
I attended the open day and can confirm they said we can put virtual experience programmes in the work experience section
If you don't mind me asking, what did they mean when they said no? Have they still not made decisions on AC offers? Just curious because a lot of people are waiting to hear back from them post-WG.Mine updated in December and I heard nothing. I emailed to ask if I missed anything and they said no
That's what I was told, we should hear back next week and AC will be held on Feb 1-3
Can anyone please explain what is going on with DLA Piper re AC invites. It seems a lot of people's portals are being updated but no news.
Has anyone had theirs updated in (mid) December and heard anything?

Mine was updated on 27th Dec and have heard nothing post WG.
Has anyone who completed the Weil VI in mid-late December / early Jan heard back yet:

HSF spring pfo, this was my first app done before I knew anything/attended any firm events so I was expecting it!
As long as you know why you were rejected/confident you grew out of that phase I think we'll all be alright
