    I think from mid Oct we could hear something as I looked at the thread from last year and saw people mentioning PFOs and ACs from then. I could be wrong and we could hear earlier (praying we do)

    Amma went to a non-RG uni and has a TC with them! You should still apply if you like the firm despite them mostly hiring RG grads.

    I found the maths tests stupid... I gave up on the test where you had to pick whether the equations were equal or if one was bigger. I just guessed, I didn't even bother looking at the numbers because which human could add up numbers on both sides in 5 seconds???!!!!

    How important are the A&O Shearman application questions?

    don't worry! the recruiters look at everything as a whole.

    UPDATE: i must say i was not able to do all 3 internships😭 i did do 2/3 though which is still something! i have been bombarded with last-minute events, shifts and family commitments since my last post so of course I was not able to do all 3. i am still busy but will find time to do the latham...

    How important are the A&O Shearman application questions?

    If it wasn't important, they wouldn't ask it. I don't think it's a case of "my grades and work experience are strong, if my answers are not as strong I'm good" but more of "my grades are not the strongest, I have limited experience, my application answers should be strong to make up for it". If...

    ok, here's an update: i'm not applying to arnold & porter, i've swapped this out for white & case due to the guaranteed secondment and the areas they specialise in. i have not started the virtual internships due to work but i have planned the ones i am going to do. i'm going to do one in...

    i've decided to create a thread on my journey to a TC, as like others, i want to hold myself accountable. last cycle, i put out 28 applications and i must say i rushed most of them and did not truly research the firms. i think i did this because i did not know what i wanted from a firm but since...

    Thank you so much! I've heard a few times that different practice areas attract different personality types, if possible could you give an example? But I won't completely write off a firm due to someone else's experience, I just don't want to think of a firm as "perfect" in some sense. I...

    For sure about the 65%, I have already secured 1:1s in two modules so I am hoping I finish 2nd year with a 1st overall. Thank you!

    Does anyone know of firms that are lenient with A-Level grades whilst still having A-Level requirements? I got ABB and I want to apply to firms with AAB. I have mitigating circumstances but I am worried that firms won't care. I finished with 65% in 1st year and I am awaiting results for 2nd. I...
