I haven’t been put off applying to firms because of legal cheeks university breakdowns but in these last few days of applications I need to maximise my productivity.

I.e. Goodwin, Shearman, Osbourne, Trowers.

anyone know whether grad recruitment have ever specified a preference to certain universities?
Not too sure but I know Shearman prefers Oxbridge as it adds prestige to the firm not sure about others tho

    Hi all!
    I just got my feedback for Linklaters' Watson Glaser test. I found out I scored in the top 5% of applicants (95th percentile), with 90% correct answers!
    I've been doing really well in Watson Glaser tests recently and wanted to offer a helping hand to anyone who struggles with these. They're hard, weird, and sometimes hair-ripping-ly annoying, but I've kind of cracked a code for answering them and it's really been a huge help to me in applications.
    If anyone wants to reach out, ask to hop on a call, or do some practice, feel free :)
    Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weeks!

    Love to see your support on the forum! We need kindness like this!

    i scored 77 overall, scored in 90th percentiles for all but drawing conclusions - which I somehow got 35 for! Really not sure what happened there, very strange!

    must have had some sort of brain fart because I usually ace that part of the test, luckily linklaters weigh the CAPP significantly more than Watson

    I have just received an email from Gibson Dunn saying that they are reviewing a high number of applications and they will respond to me as soon as possible. Do you think this is the first sign of a rejection letter?
    So they are rolling and I am working on my application for them at this moment. Their deadline is 31st January do you think I should still consider applying for them.
