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?

I submitted my Latham app a while back and did not receive an email about the SJT. I logged onto all hires today and see there is an assignment to do (the SJT). I'm not sure if the 72 hour rule applies or not, would this affect my app?
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

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.
