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

@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
