    Cleary is requesting an academic transcript as part of their vacation scheme application - anyone know if they only want your university transcript or do we have to include A-level and GCSE transcripts as well?

    I don't currently have access to transcripts for my A-level and GCSE exams, although I do my have my certificates. I've emailed them regarding this issue, but I'm not sure how quick their response will be.

    @Jessica Booker, I would really appreciate some insight on this.

    I don’t have access to my A-Level transcripts either but I have uploaded my university transcripts and included my A-Level grades on a separate page.

    Is anyone yet to get the WG from Bird and Bird? I applied on the deadline and don’t know if I should be assumed to be rejected if I haven’t received the test by now since other people have already completed it?
    It took two and half weeks for me to get mine as they review your app first so fingers crossed!!! - last year because of the rolling deadline they p much blanket rejected everyone who applied in the last week because they had over 800 apps in the last week

    Your certificates should be sufficient for A-levels and GCSEs - they won’t want transcripts for these as they only care about the overall grade.

    The transcript is only really needed for your degree level qualification(s), as they are interested in the module scores.

    Does anyone know if law firms ask for proof of mitigating circumstances at AC/VS offer stage.
    They can do depends on the circumstances and how they have impacted your grades/profile. It’s one of those things where it tends to be a case by case basis rather than a standardised approach, even within the same firm.

    Thank you for this and things related to COVID-19 will not require proof but things related to a family member's illness and that family member having surgeries will require proof.
