I haven't heard back post VI LeedsWhich office is this for if you don’t mind me asking?
+ Has anyone heard back from AG Leeds?
if I remember correctly I think one of their emails said they’d get back to everyone on their outcome by the 28th of febAny updates on shoo smiths discover placement? I'm fairly sure we'll receive responses by the end of this week
If we make it to the end of day without a PFO, judging from previous years, goodIs it good or bad that I haven't heard back from Ropes yet?
Praying for us allIf we make it to the end of day without a PFO, judging from previous years, good
thank youI do not think anyone has heard back. They only finished interviewing everyone on friday that has just gone. And they get back to everyone after interviews are finished (unless you ask for an earlier decision). I think they will get back to everyone in the next 2 weeks or so!
Second this!Cooley AC!! Any advice would be super appreciated
Congrats!! 🥳 🥳 What office was this for?Irwin Mitchell AC
Please feel free to PM me and I can help with how you are detailing your mitigating circumstances. I wouldn't expect the need to rehash these from application to application, and I can help so the wording does not come across as making excuses.Does anyone have experience, maybe from speaking with grad rec or through their own applications, that gives them some reassurance that grad rec do actually consider mitigating circumstances *in a meaningful way*?
I spend so much time and emotional energy rehashing my mitigating circumstances in each app and sometimes I feel firms couldn’t care less or worse, they think I am making excuses. I get a lot of rejections post-app and I just feel slightly frustrated at times because I have worked really hard to get where I am, and I feel a bit demoralised if everything I worked for is undone because of unavoidable things outside my control.
So would just be good to hear from others that have had their uni grades affected by mitigating circumstances - and specifically, if anyone knows how exactly law firms consider them? And if there are firms people would recommend I apply to that are a bit better in dealing with mitigating circumstances? Perhaps any that are a bit more holistic in their approach. Or conversely, any firms they’d recommend I’d stay away from in the future?
