200 words is such an absurdly tiny amount too. The one that really baffles me is Mayer Brown though which has no application questions or cover letterMaybe I'm just overthinking the entire application process because I've been looking at forms for months, but:
I do find some of these application stages a bit strange.
Like, how is a firm choosing who to interview based on a few 200-word application questions lol.
Especially when some of those questions are rather generic and ask about what skills a good solicitor has. Surely we're all saying similar things within reason anyway.
I can get behind pre-recorded interviews, and somewhat understand WG and SJ tests (as much as I despise them).
But, a few questions with a limited word count, and then straight to an interview?!? I can't get my head around it.
I think I just wish some firms were a bit more transparent with their shortlisting + what type of person / criteria they actually want.

From PH's website: "We are looking for individuals with distinguished academic credentials. We expect candidates to have high level of achievement both at A Level (or equivalent) and degree level. This would normally mean an upper second or first class degree and a majority of A grades at A Level."what are the strict requirements at degree level at PH? Just a 2.1 no?
