    Is there a word limit for the White and Case cover letter? As none has been specified, what is a reasonable word limit to aim for?

    In regards to those waiting back from Orrick, I just checked the details of the graduate recrutement manager in the signature of my application response email and she actually left the firm last year lol (seemingly odd that her signature is still being used). On this basis, I am assuming a...

    The graduate recruitment contact mentioned the opportunity to apply again in this cycle but also said (as you have) that usually candidates apply in the next cycle. Focusing on key feedback areas seems to be a reasonable thing to do and now I have access to my feedback notes so will be...

    Congratulations! Did you enquire about what your WG score was that met the cut off? I am curious to know even though I understand the benchmark can change every year. Regarding video interview, I came across this thread which could be useful for you...

    I emailed graduate recruitment for my WG mark and they replied after a few minutes. I got 54%, but would be good to know what the cut off is for them and maybe what others who got to VI stage received?

    Is the number only provided for people who pass the test? I received the rejection email and no follow up is given in terms of performance in the test.
