Weird question but any tips on the waiting game after submitting applications?? Feels mentally harder than the submitting trying to analyse when I should expect a response and overthinking my responses and if there’s any typos. Know the simple answer is to not think about it but struggling with that one lol

Anyone who’s done the Goodwin interview know when we can expect to hear back?

@Jessica Booker Do law firms care about if your law degree is an honours degree? Tbh I don't actually know the difference but someone at my uni told me that we don't get an honours degree if we don't do a dissertation, and a dissertation here is optional so loads of people aren't doing one

Has Orrick responded to anyone about extending the deadline?

May I ask who you emailed?
