    There's a chance that some TC offer holders, for different reasons, are unable to accept their offers. In that case, the game is on. But I wouldn't bet the farm on succeeding.

    Also wondering the same. Seem to be some conflicting information on the website:

    If you politely ask for a follow-up (in a non-intrusive way), I don't see any harm in doing that. But if he doesn't reply again, he is probably too busy.

    A firm requires the following on my CV: a full classification and percentage breakdown of all academic results. Does this ALSO require a full module breakdown of my (equivalent) A-level and GSCE results? (other than summaries). I'm afraid the CV is going to look colossal with so many module...

    I would absolutely include all the experience that you have! It's great that you can show a variety of experiences (both legal and non-legal), especially as you probably have trained different skills.

    From experience, I've had no issues spelling out numbers under 10. I think it's safer to stick to this grammatical norm (unless it's exceptionally unclear to read otherwise, but which I think would be rare)

    Does anyone know if you can re-apply to White & Case's direct TC, despite not progressing to their vac scheme in the same cycle? Cheers

    Do you have any sources on this? Or is this just the 'norm' for PS? I think I previously progressed with a PS by including a short introduction and ending (beyond the core elements of a PS)

    Because some firms take a holistic assessment of the candidates post-SJT. So if the application was poor, it doesn't compensate for a top-tier SJT.

    Latham 'strongly recommends' not to re-apply in the same application cycle. Should I just presume there is no real chance to succeed in the same application cycle (vac scheme / direct TC) even though I believe my application has significantly improved? Other firms say (differently) that they...
