I would say yes - I remember I was also slightly put off by the stats last year, but I applied, and ended up getting both a VS and a TC offer. Following my VS there over half of the TC offers were made to non-Oxbridge students and several Oxbridge vacation schemers did not convert, so I don't think the firm has a very strong policy in favor of recruiting from those universities. While I think Milbank had a somewhat higher Oxbridge presence than other US firms, it was not to an extent that should dissuade people from applying. During the scheme, I also met trainees and junior associates from a variety of other RG universities, so if you like the firm I think you should just go for it.

On a quick look on their website, I would say they are the same. The firm lists categories like 'Financial Services' and 'Entertainment and Media' as industries, but these are the same terms that are use to describe economic 'sectors' firms operate in.
just realised i made a grammatical error in my DPW cover letter... how likely am i to be rejected on the basis of this?

I submitted my bird and bird summer vac scheme app on the 27th november (late ik, got caught up in exams), should I just assume PFO as haven't heard anything yet and ik its rolling and some people have progressed to next stages already
Got a PFO from HSF's summer vac scheme post-test, so I think no news is good news
Could I also message you about the application form? Working on an application to Withers and the 60 words word count is stumping me so much
Hi everyone,
I’ve been invited to a Clifford Chance assessment centre for a training contract.
I’ve read that a significant number of training contract offers go to Spark scheme students. Out of the 100 Clifford Chance offers each year, does anyone know how many are typically left for direct applicants?
What do you think are the chances of success for those of us who didn’t come through Spark? Would appreciate any insight or advice.
Cheers!

Skadden WA ... submitted 3 minutes late and didn't finish all the points of action. Not feeling very optimistic but it was great to get to the next stage for a chance! Best of luck to everyone who did it 
Hi everyone can someone shed light on what sort of questions I should be expecting for the Michson VI (obviously without giving away to much ) is it your standard strengths-based and situation-based questions can you share how many questions there are, how did you found it was it challenging?
