In my experience HL are quite slow regarding application responsesanyone got an update for HL lift off?
Thank you!!@Jessica Booker will be able to tell you more about this, but I would definitely not worry about your grades situation. Showing consistent improvement is definitely valued and first year grades tend to be taken into account the least. Besides a very few number of firms which are well-known to have a preference for 1.1s or consistent high 2.1s, you will not be at a disadvantage. Even for those few firms I would not discourage you to apply, as an overall high 2.1 in your degree will likely mean your application will still be considered seriously.
That said, I do not think that your grades are strong enough to set you apart from the crowd in the application process. As such, I think it will still be key to focus on researching the firms in a lot of depth and writing high-quality applications.
@Jessica Booker Could you help me with this?I am trying to book my ac slot but theres only one slot left next tuesday. do i have to book it or should i wait maybe more slots will open? How does the booking process work?
Last month for both I think. I send so many apps out. I don't really remember doing each.You’re super organised - you should be proud!!! I’m not a fan of WGs either - I like your justification
If I may, could I check when you heard back from A&O Shearman & when you did your SJT/sent your app? Thank you 🙏🏼
I would contact the firm to check but if there it maybe that this is the only time they have available, and so I would consider booking in for this if you are available for then. If you are not, then definitely contact the firm to see if they will add any additional dates.@Jessica Booker Could you help me with this?
Usually firms recommend applying for a VS before the TCDoes anyone have any insight on whether to apply to the Bird & Bird Vacation Scheme or 25/26 TC? I'm a recent LLB graduate and would be able to complete the SQE in time for the TC start dates in either 2025 or 2026, but I don't have VS experience, so not sure whether it would be more advantageous still to apply to VS instead of the direct TC?
mad !! have a great dayJust got a Paul, Weiss open day invite
