My uni doesn’t even allow undergrad transcripts to be uploaded cos they’re on a secure portal, so it would have been a waste of time applying. It’s a...- Harvey Specter

I went to their open day and met two people who went to non-RG unis (Kent and Lancaster). One of their future trainees also went to SOAS. It’s worth applying to them if you’re interested. It’s super competitive though. Apps for the WVS the firm received c1500 apps for c30 AC spaces and 15 ish...- Harvey Specter

Idk if it’s ‘necessary’ per se cos you can defo write about any deal you’re interested in, but if it does happen to be a deal Debevoise advised on, I’d go for it honestly.
