Has anyone heard from HL yet? Last time asking lol sorry
Has anyone completed a simmons and simmons ac recently and is waiting to hear back?
Does it specify it has to be academic/professional? If not I’ve used references before from professionals I’ve networked with but if they’ve specified I’m not sure that’s helpful! Is there a personal tutor or favourite lecturer you could contact?
Morgan Lewis are asking for both 😭 There are but as I’ve graduated university and morgan lewis’ deadline is approaching this could be hard haha - i think i’ll give it a go anyway. thank you!!
In my experience my personal tutor from uni has always been really helpful with references and I graduated two years ago!! So fingers crossed for you
)@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker for Pre-IB do I need to include all of my subjects? there are about 18 subjects and Pre IB was pretty informal with no formal exams and most of the subjects I took for a semester.
I am not a native speaker of English and every time I feel so frustrated and nervous when I have to do a VI or attend an AC. Does anyone feel the same way😭
Cooley WG invite!
(Why do they send these updates so late in the evening? I can't sleep with all that dopamine in my veins 😤)

No clue! I think so, if you search TCLA forum history it mentions WG. Ngl, I had no idea, I thought next round was interview lol
thank you so much - i appreciate it 😊In my experience my personal tutor from uni has always been really helpful with references and I graduated two years ago!! So fingers crossed for you
Absolutely 😭 I've started to wonder if my Italian accent might be a factor in not progressing past the interview stage, despite feeling like I've given the right answers.
When speaking, I often fear that I'm not clear enough or that I might make grammatical mistakes because I’m too nervous. This doesn't happen when I'm writing because I have more time to think, which is probably why I usually pass the application stage. But during interviews, I feel this pressure and can't help thinking that it would be so much easier if I were a native English speaker.
Yes, all the time. Especially when I can't find the right word that I KNOW the meaning of, but it just doesn't come to me in English. But I think that's what makes us unique, too.
For anybody that has passed the app stage for Bakers this year, did you explicitly name one of their clients in the client question, or did you mention PE houses for example? As I am losing the will to live trying to find a mining client of the firm that uses the London projects team for work, even though I know there are some according to their website, they are just not named.
