I attended a Mishcon open day and wrote Mischon every single time I referred to the firm. They still let me slide so perhaps it’s firm dependant. Was such a rookie error lmao. Smh. 😂- Harvey Specter

They’re rolling to the extent that they review our apps and video interviews on a rolling basis. All apps are reviewed regardless of when they were submitted. Same for video interviews. The third stage is a written exercise which I don’t think is going to happen until late Jan. Idk for sure. I...- Harvey Specter

BCLP is worse because their test is automatic. If you don’t meet the test benchmark they won’t even read your app. Nasty stuff lmao. Imagine writing 2,000 words for nothing omg. 😂- Harvey Specter

Same here lmao, idk what’s going on atp. It’s like my brains only activates AFTER I’ve submitted my app and only then will I spot 13849 mistakes and my app reads like it’s the most generic thing in all of human history… Just have to hope for the best in these circumstances I guess. 🫤- Harvey Specter

It’s just personal info, grades and work history. I can’t see any app q’s or space for a cover letter, so assuming the form is relatively simple. I’m going to submit mine in the next week or so.- Harvey Specter

Some people got their test within days but others didn’t get it until weeks later. I got mine I think 3 weeks after I applied. This is for Weil idk if Mayer Brown is the same.- Harvey Specter

They said they did this intentionally during their open day, as they want to assess how we convey our motivations in as concise a way as possible. I found it extremely difficult to do. 100 words isn’t enough words at all. 🙃- Harvey Specter
