How strict are W&C on undergraduate grades? I graduated with a 64% but I have 2 modules that are 2.2 (no mitigating circumstances, just exam stress). I’m not sure if I should apply because I heard that they prefer candidates with a strong 2.1 (though this is not explicitly said on their website)

Passed the VI for Burness Paull 🙌 Now onto the aptitude tests, or as I like to call it: the 'end of the road'.
Where did you see that? Their FAQs page says "We review every application that we receive, regardless of when you submit your application. You will be informed once applications close if you are successful or not." https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-gb/graduates/apply/faqsyes
Anyone else completely ghosted by HL when requesting for WG report?
Hello. Has anyone heard back from Linklaters Vacation Scheme application - 2023/24?
Anyone applying for MoFo that hasnt applied yet? Chambers students' Instagram said that the deadline was extended but it hasn't been updated on MoFo's website! anyone know where they're getting their information from 😂
Has anyone still not heard from HL on direct TC? I haven't even received the WG link and I applied back in November.
HSF AC Invite, if anyone has any advice/insight I would appreciate it greatly
Thank you so much for the advice!!!!
I am still struggling with a few aspects of these types of questions. Could I message you if that's ok?
The use of generative AI in recruitment is a particularly hot topic amongst candidates and recruitment teams alike. What are your views on candidates using generative AI in recruitment processes? Is it cheating, or being resourceful? Does it level the playing field, or make it harder for some? There is no right or wrong answer to this question (yet!), but we are interested to hear your opinions on this topic.
How would you guys approach this question? Personally, I believe that these tools can help candidates articulate their experiences and skills more effectively, ensuring that their applications are reflective of their true capabilities and potential. Especially for individuals who may struggle with expressing themselves in writing or face barriers due to various factors such as neurodiversity, AI can level the playing field, providing an opportunity to present themselves in the best light. This doesn't necessarily equate to cheating, provided the candidates are honest about their experiences, their skills and the role AI played in their application.
I know they say there is no right or wrong answer, but I'm aware that many firms are strongly against the use of AI in this context. Given this situation, how should I approach this issue? Should I voice my true opinion, or align with the more commonly held view against AI usage in job applications?
I also recognise that recruitment processes are designed not just to know a candidate's experiences and skills, but also test their communication skills. And AI-generated responses can obscure this quality.
@Jessica Booker , I would be interested in knowing your opinion. Thank you!

I would apply if I was you. I know people (including me) who had grades similar to you who got on to the scheme with some converting this into a TC!
Not sure how to answer that in an application, but I genuinely agree with your point.
I am neurodiverse and because of it I sometimes struggle to put my thoughts into words. So AI has been life changing for me. It helps me brainstorm cause it's like having someone talking with me about a topic. Even if I am not using it, the fact that I have something that can help me put my thoughts into words eases my anxiety.
Plus, AI is inevitably going to be integrated into various aspects of our lives and using AI is a skill in itself (eg. prompting chat gpt).
