How likely is a grad rec to notice if you play with the margins on a cover letter to get it to fit on 1 page? 🥲

I did this for Slaughters, and made it to the AC! I don’t think they will realise unless your margins are super wide! Or I would use font size 10 or 10.5 - does the job!

Only applied for VS so far. Remember seeing someone on here say you can apply for both, but I wasn't sure if that was correct though as the website says differently. I will clarify tomorrow

You definitely can! I’ve applied for both but I did the tests within a day of each other so I’m thinking, if the issue was my test, then what’s the point of attending if they’re going to reject me for the TC come April 🤣

I e-mailed them and they confirmed you can.

Hey @axelbeugre, does Goodwin offer a restructuring seat? Their website says the London office has restructuring lawyers and capabilities in this area. However, chambers state otherwise. Thanks in advance

Ohh I see. It may still be beneficial to attend.
I take it the questions are different on the applications?

They’re the same! Plus I’ve been to at least 3 in person events and 1 online event since October idk what to do

When a firm says they want applicants from a leading university, does this mean Russell group/ Oxbridge?

 

[Manuchelsout]

Do Latham require a high 2.1/first in degree

No it means Manchester Metropolitan and Leeds Beckett mate

You gain nothing from being condescending 'mate'

Mostly, they'll probably class St Andrews, Loughborough and Lancaster in that too

Is it too late to apply to BCLP seeing as ACs have already been given?
