    I can't see what a recruiter could possibly learn about you from this question, other than your ability to grasp at straws.

    I've got a mid 2:1 and interviewed at a range of SC/MC/US Firms. Even JD which I believe says they look for a "high 2:1". If you're interested its worth applying, I nearly didn't apply to JD because of those concerns, yet I got an interview.

    At the very least you will have at least one interaction you can mention, that is always really good!

    I wrote about my legal work experience in there and they progressed me to AC. I think its just a really flexible question where you sell yourself/your motivations with whatever you want.

    I had a meeting with HL recruiter last year, and they directly said that after about the middle of October competition increases and the "any additional information you would like to tell us" essentially goes from optional to mandatory to distinguish between applicants.

    Spelling error on vac scheme application

    Definitely do not email them, they might not even notice the mistake. In my cover letter I once typed "Slaughter & May" as opposed to Slaughter and May, and they still progressed me. Be more careful in future but you still have a chance.

    Just to add onto this, they host ACs super late for the WVS, I did mine literally like a week before the scheme was due to start.

    For writing a memo, if I'm trying to address multiple separate topics is it appropriate to use numbered bullet points in the executive summary to summarise each key topic. Also, when addressing each topic in depth is it appropriate to use numbered points again, or should I be writing in full...

    Hi guys, I need to provide academic certificates/transcripts as proof of qualifications prior to my AC. Do they usually accept "candidate statement of marks" instead of the official certificates?

    I know a few people who did the Slaughters one and never converted, but I think Links gave 100% of vac schemers a TC.
