    I was always worried about this but it seems like only a select few US firms are that strict with individual modules. As long as you average a 2:1 you have a good chance.

    4/4/4/1 on Arctic Shores 😭 Am I cooked? I'm not sure if they total the points to screen candidates or have a set threshold for each category.

    Is the cover letter for NRF referring to the TC or the vacation scheme when it asks 'what excites you about our programme?'

    Wow, thanks for telling me. It is a real shame, I feel like this might worsen social mobility. Now they basically only have grades and the university you went to when filtering applications :/ I'm sure there will still be Watson Glaser tests, but I do feel like the application questions gave...
