One of my 20 or so references in my Baker McKenzie app is ‘Baker Mckenzie’. Is my application doomed? 😕
AC is not the final stage btw, they have a partner interview after it as a separate stage.So that's 1.3 TCs per AC?! Unless they're upping TC numbers obviously.
It took me a while to figure out what the issue was lol, I suspect it's so minor that grad rec might not even notice.One of my 20 or so references in my Baker McKenzie app is ‘Baker Mckenzie’. Is my application doomed? 😕

As long as you don't write Slaughter & May (you will be insta-slaughtered) or Paul Weiss (the paulbearers will cremate you) , it's probably too minor a detail to worry about.
This makes me feel better. Thank you. 😅I was worried the paulbearers would come after me because I may or may not have made that exact mistake in my application. I think it went unnoticed though, or it was just a minor error so they overlooked it. 😅
I would contact the firm and explain you have a vacation scheme on the dates available and ask whether there is any flexibility or alternative dates.K&S invited me for AC just now, but they run ACs on the dates when I have the vac scheme, so it looks like I will not be able to attend😭
@Jessica Booker can I ask your thoughts on this?One of my 20 or so references in my Baker McKenzie app is ‘Baker Mckenzie’. Is my application doomed? 😕
Many congratulations and incredibly well done!Humblebrag/mushy post alert…
Just found out I’ve secured a DTC. Incredibly excited to be getting off this carousel!
Just wanted to say thanks to this place for keeping me sane over the last few months. From sharing advice to hyping each other up, this place has been a reminder that there are still good people in the world (or on the internet at least)!
Thanks to @Jaysen for the commercial awareness course, I nailed my CA questions because of it and to @Amma Usman for helping me smash PE with your private equity guide and @Jessica Booker for general sanity checking!
That’s it for my Oscars acceptance speech. *cuts to commercials*
One very minor mistake like this is unlikely to be an issue on its own.@Jessica Booker can I ask your thoughts on this?
I think you should simply seek to discuss the points which you think would add most value to your candidate profile/application as a whole. As @trainee4u said, this will depend a lot on what other sections and questions in the application form were and how you went about answering them. For instance, if the form had no work experience section, it would make sense to describe some of your roles here. Similarly, if there are significant achievements that you did not get to mention in other answers, this would be a good place to do so. Thus, it seems to me there are at least the following options for types of information you could choose to present here:'Please provide any additional information that you think is relevant.'
What type of thing do we think is actually relevant...
Thank you.One very minor mistake like this is unlikely to be an issue on its own.
May I ask if this is for September 2026, March or September 2027 intake? Congratulations!K&S invited me for AC just now, but they run ACs on the dates when I have the vac scheme, so it looks like I will not be able to attend😭
i’m still considering if i want to apply or not 😅😂😂Is there anybody else still working on their Baker McKenzie DTC application or who has not yet submitted it? I am still working on mine and it looks like it won’t be done until Sunday. I hope I am not on my own here. 😅
