Hello, does anyone have any tips for the Shoosmiths VI? Any nasty surprises?
Afraid I haven't got anything for Shoosmiths specifically but I'd recommend checking out a brilliant thread made by @Alice G a few months ago on video interviews. Hope it helps you both and best of luck!Would appreciate any tips and advice for the Shoosmiths VI please!
For those of you who did secondary school outside of the UK, how do you usually fill in the GCSE or equivalent section? For A-Levels its easy as my equivalent is simply the IB program, however for GCSE's its a bit more tricky. What I think is to put in my final exam grades for Grade 10 which is when I was 15/16 and right before I began the IB program. Does this make sense or is there a better approach?
I had my first round direct TC interview for Dentons in the first week of April and have still heard nothing. They told me during it that they had no idea when they would get back given corona. I emailed over the weekend asking for a rough date and they provided a response which can be summarised as 'god knows'. Best of luck.Anyone heard from Dentons (post-1st interview) or BCLP for TC?
Hi All, so in the Slaughter and May application in the section where they say "your covering letter, cv and additional documents" would it be suitable to attach letters of recommendation for the additional documents? I have three really good letters of rec and I was wondering if anyone has done this or if it's advised. The examples they give for additional documents are
1. An explanation of the grading structure for the school and/or university you attended, if non standard
2. Academic transcripts if a full breakdown has not been provided within your application
I don't have either one of those, so attaching my letters of rec instead I think could be helpful, but curious on everyones thoughts on this.
Wow... I'd better get the popcorn out for the responses on that thread! Does make you more appreciative of the community we have on here that 99% of the time is looking to build others up and help them succeed rather than drag people downChrist - glad I've always steered clear of TSR!!

Makes you grateful for the moderation on this forum when responses may even come across as rude.
Props to @Jaysen and the CLA team!
Edit - didn't realise CLA actually got mentioned on there too (although somewhat controversially)

It’s a really toxic environment on there - and full of really bad advice too (the latter is why I started posting in there in 2014). It literally made me a worse person as I used to get so riled by people constantly wanting to be snarky towards others. I was harassed constantly and in time my only way to respond to people on there was to communicate in the way they were. Being anonymous on that forum creates some god awful personas. Some of their community rules have a lot to be desired with too.
Even I didn’t like the person I became because of TSR. I am very happy to have left and now to be in this environment which is more productive and supportive.
If you do, one is sufficient. They aren’t going to read three, especially if they are lengthy
Thanks! However, for the breakdown of grades document, I just got an email from Slaughter and May stating that it's required to have an explanation of the grading structure for the school and/or university you attended, if non standard.They basically said my application would not be reviewed unless I have that document. I'm assuming that doesn't extend to the IB program because it's considered 'standard," however for the GCSE equivalent would I need to provide a document explaining my grade structure as I just had standard Canadian public education?
