For AG, do we need to include a full breakdown of module grades or just the overall degree classification? Same with A-Levels and GCSEs?

Does anyone know if White & Case have strict A-level requirements?

Anyone heard from Goodwin - PFO or AC/ interview? Genuinely my last glimmer of hope before I start churning out more applications :/

I read somewhere on these threads that Goodwin replies around January third week.

Anyone applied to Kirkland in Nov and not heard?

I applied on 3rd Nov and haven't heard back yet

If it is the same as last year then you have to do the verbal reasoning test by 15/01. But it doesn't take too long, an hour should be enough.

Thank you so much!!

Congratulations! When did you apply if you don’t mind me asking? Applied on the 27th and haven’t heard anything, which makes me a bit worried as they were one of my preferred firms

Reed Smith VI! Applied on the 29th

 

[laby201]

On Reed Smith’s email acknowledging your application it says that Grad Recruitment will be in touch “after the deadline closes.”

Obviously presume everyone got this but the deadline is the 8th and some have heard already? Makes me feel a bit better about not having heard, but I also applied on the 27th and people are getting VIs with later dates than that?

Ah well, PFO here we come 🤣

Same, I applied on the 19th and assumed no news could be good news but am now expecting a PFO coming my way.
