Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells has A Level requirements? Some sites are saying AAB and some sites have only listed 2.1 requirement. If they do, is it a hard requirement (if you don’t have this you won’t progress/stand a chance) or are they known to be lenient?
Honestly no idea😅 i don't know anyone else who has applied for them. They are rolling basis and it does seem kinda weird that we haven't heard anything yet...
Did you receive the confirmation email that you submitted the app? The SJT test is referenced there.
would I be able to tell if they withdrew my app? the SJT is still there and I am planning on doing it even thoughts very much been over the 3 days (I applied months ago lol). my app still says pending under it on all hires
Mine is the same! I never got notified of the SJT, gonna do it today and hope that my app is still valid. Maybe be like OC where you just have to do the assessment before the application window closes
PWC AC! any insight would genuinely be appreciated 
yes for sure doing it before the deadline ahaha. just surprised because in past years they have sent the SJT separately AND reminders!
They screen applications first and then send tests out in January
Legal cheek says AAB. However, this is just from what I’ve heard (so I’d take it like a pinch of salt because I’m not 100% sure) but I think if you have like ABB for example you will be fine if you have ofc a 2:1 and a strong application.

Hey @Zaraa.x , yes it’s AAB, per our list here; https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/law-firms-a-level-requirements-list.9082/
I suspect for degree requirements it’ll always be a 2:1 or better, and mitigating circumstances will be taken to account.
That makes sense! Thank you - I’ll also confirm with grad rec because the website is silent on grades.

Hey @C_AJH , I usually aimed for 650 words or around that 500-word mark. I found that this had helped me to go straight into my motivations, cut out flowery words, and it was these applications I ended up being most successful with. A longer word count may be permitted, but ensure you prioritise conciseness with how you communicate your motivations and competencies. You are right in suggesting that this policy differs between firms. For example, Jones Day has a 300 word limit and this is highlighted in their application form. For firms which this isn’t, I’d say aim for lower than 950 words just to be safe.
I would have thought they'd be sending things around now seeing as it's rolling 😭... maybe it differs per firm
Has anyone had any success with paralegal roles post-graduation? If so, I would appreciate some advice.
