Could I ask which office you applied to? Trying to work out if they’re handing them out in batches or to assume PFO

Has anyone reached the interview stage for Slaughter? If so, what type of questions and articles have they used. I haven’t heard back from them about my application. Can feel a rejection from a mile away.

U get asked a lot about your grades, modules etc. and about your CV generally.

Grade-obsessed firm with weird interviewing Partners. I am autistic and still struggled. Best of luck to you though.

And yeah, I did do one with them for the summer. Wasnt successful presumably because I did poorly on the article discussion. I was asked about my grades quite a lot so I'd prep answers and preempt those sort of questions.

Anyone received anything from HL?

 

[Jannatahan]

Yh I did notice that with how much they emphasised it within their application. They did state “a good 2:1” which can be very subjective depending on who you ask.

Nice, what day?

 

[Tintin06]

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone. Go for it and good luck. Their interview is idiosyncratic though, honestly. Idiosyncatic as in a unique experience. Watch this to help you prepare.
