[QUOTE="adh3, post: 227385, member: 42602"] Yeah, instead Sidley's selections heavily depend upon university, grades, experience and extracurriculars. Which, at first, sounds fair. Of course, that's only until you realise that almost 40% of their intake is from Oxbridge and the other 60% is effectively LSE/UCL/Durham. Then consider how many of that firm's intake went to top (private) schools – i.e. Le Rosey, Raffles Institution, Eton, Westminster, etc. And, just for context, I'm complaining about this as a graduate from one of the universities mentioned above... As much as I hate psychometric testing (and believe that it's not conducive to effective hiring) at least it functions to even the playing field between those people and others who might not have been so well 'prepared' for taking this career path.
