I am in serious need of application feedback, not so much in terms of actual writing but whether I have the right profile/ grades for big law. Would it be appropriate to reach out to graduate recruitment in one of the firms am I interested in applying? If not, anyone have any recs? Thanks!
Most firms have grade requirements listed on their website. Most will expect a 2:1 degree as a minimum though and A-Level requirements can vary, although the “bigger” firms tend to look for AAB and above.

If you have extenuating circumstances with your grades, there should be a space for this on the application form. If you don’t meet the grade requirements (subject to you not having extenuating circumstances), I’d focus on firms who don’t have clear requirements :)

    ngl im a bit scared my apps been under review since nov 21st after doing the test so I reckon they might be responding in the next 2 weeks
    I see a few have already received PFOs and I’ve seen one acceptance. Perhaps they’re going through Spring VS first and then doing the Summer ones? They seem to be pretty quick though in comparison to other firms!
