    Hi All, I am thinking of getting TCLA premium but not sure which package to get. I'm deciding between bronze and silver. I'm not currently doing any new applications so I don't need application review(annoyed I didn't know about this earlier). So I'm not sure if it would make any sense to get...

    Okay would you say there is a general rule of thumb? I.e. if a firm takes longer than 3 weeks to get back to you it could be a bad sign?

    Sorry for all the questions about Slaughters but for those that applied, did you say "Dear Mrs. Janine Arnold" or just "Dear Janine Arnold" as there is no indication anywhere online whether she goes by Mrs or Ms and I don't want to make a vital mistake haha

    Hi all, I am assuming most firms use the new tariff system? I know there was an old system, so I just want to make sure that every firm uses the up to date system

    Okay, so I'm assuming it's fine to just put the month/year I completed the module? i.e. like I said before if I did an autumn module that finished in January I could put 01/18?

    Hi all, in the Slaughter and May application, the section where you are entering your UG grades they ask for the month and date you completed your exam. Although what if the module was 100% coursework? Do they simply mean the month/year you finished the module, i.e. if it was just a module in...

    Hey I just remembered what you said about margins, and what would you consider too narrow? As my entire cover letter is only 580 words and I'm using size 11 font, but it still goes slightly passed one page.

    Do you always have to end it with the "I am looking forward to hearing from you" bit at the end? I'm just trying to downsize as much as possible.
