@Jessica Booker Is there a specific marking criteria firms use when assessing candidates, e.g I know some firms use a scale 1-5 to rate your competency answers , or can it really be influenced by whether the assessors / grad rec liked you ?
No - all varies from firm to firm. These things are not standardised.

Twenty two applications...seven rejections...but finally, two vacation scheme offers! 👏
(Oh and Reed Smith also just sent me a PFO today, but don't give up folks, I know I nearly did!)
Congratulations! This reminds me so much of me because this is how my application cycle went last year!! Good luck with them!
