    Hey @mfuturetrainee, I am so sorry about this! I know that many people have struggled with this though, so you are not on your own. What I would do is emailing the firm to let them know what happened and if they can assist you by sending the VI again. Most probably they will understand the...

    Hey @saraeali, It might be equal to a 36 IB however I am not completely sure. As an international applicant, to calculate your grades and their A-Level equivalent, what I used to do was going to a random UK university application information (let's say Oxford) for a specific course (maybe law)...

    I would not make that assumption to be honest as I know of people applying to the firm with two pages CVs and managed to get the training contract offer!

    Hey @gilo, The way I had approached it last year when I was applying to places like Goodwin or Dentons who use Vantage was writing my work experience from the most recent to the oldest one. So, start with the ones you have recently completed all the way down to the ones you have done when you...

    Hey @babylawyer1942, I am so sorry for this and I totally sympathise with you. I was in your same shoes last year. I applied to Sidley and I worked really hard on my application and I ended up being rejected. I was gutted indeed, however that rejection did not stop me. And by February I had...

    Hey @jlee01, I honestly do not know if they would revoke the offer but I would say that it is important to be 100% transparent with law firms, so I would send an email to all the firms you have applied thus far letting them know this. This will ensure that you have been upfront and you did not...
