Guys just to jump in. It's not about the games score only. In the event they did say that most people do not answer the sector question in detail to illustrate their interest in the sector. Also they said understanding how the skills from your experiences link to a trainee at Gowling. Maybe your app was not as strong as others.
Yea, as long as you met their cut off score and tailored the essays exceptionally, you'll be shortlisted.
I appreciate that, as it is the case with any other law firm. But, after 4 years of applications and one vac scheme I do feel like I have honed the first round question stage to the best of my abilities. It's just a shame that despite of what I feel was a genuinely strong application, strong wex, and an event attended by them, this wasn't enough alongside 17 in the arctic shores!
I thought my answer was so good when I wrote it but reading it again, I did not tailor the sector question properly so you are right in that.
There is space for mitigating circumstances - with the vantage system, it's always in the contextual information section, where you answer the soci-economic questions toward the bottom.Just submitted my Goodwin application - so many questions and I didnt see a section to put in any mitigating circumstances either which was annoying!
Also after all that proof reading I somehow managed to write my a level subjects wrong and wrote history twice instead of maths and historyIs it something I should contact them about because I know this makes me look silly and has probably ruined my chances
It's probably a no from any die-hard Liverpool supporters.
I progressed with Sidley, and have a mid 2:1 (with a few 2:2 modules) with no mitigating circumstances. I would say as long as you meet the requirements, they will look at your application holistically.
