    I'm currently in bed with food poisoning so I'm happy to say that receiving rejections today from Debevoise and Freshfields hasn't made me feel any worse! ;)

    Just been rejected from Akin Gump a month after my AC. Not that disappointed as, on reflection, I'm not sure they were the right firm for me. Hope others had better news! Looking forward to Travers Smith and Gibson Dunn this week :)

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Be honest! If you don't know the answer to something just say you don't know - lawyers are paid to give correct advice so if you start giving a response that you know is a load of rubbish that will come across very badly. I have had plenty of situations in interviews where I haven't known the...

    Which LPC? BPP or University of Law?

    I've chosen ULaw to do the GDL and the main reason for that is because with ULaw you do 3 exams in Jan and 4 exams in May/June whereas with BPP I believe you sit all your exams at the end of the year (i.e. 7, 3-hour exams in around 2 weeks) which seems to be very tough

    Nope - think they're collating all of the feedback and then will probably let us know by the end of this week. Hopefully anyway...

    Freshfields - no Ropes & Gray - no (summer VS but their ACs are in March so I'll imagine they'll start letting people know fairly soon) Dechert - no (summer VS: their GradRec team seems a bit of a joke this year - 4 calls and 4 emails later I still haven't had a reply or spoken to anyone!)...
