Hi guys,

What do people think about a 2 page cover letter for Cleary? Pretty difficult to squeeze onto a single page, me thinks....

Thanks.

Can I just ask how many places are people generally applying for?
and how many do think is enough to stand a fair shot getting at least one VS?

wow well done! Is that for the VS? I've only applied for a TC there in December but not heard back yet, did you have to do any online tests or was it straight to interview from your application form?

hi, thank you! mine was straight to interview..

When a question asks you to give details of your main extra-curricular activities does that mean only current ones or former ones as well?

Not yet...but I only did it on Sunday and they'll only actually look at your application form after they've got your test results, so I'm not expecting to hear back this week (unless I failed the test lol)

I submitted my app on 26th
Did the test on 30th
I remember reading on the website that they don't hand out offers until the deadline closed (the 9th? or something). But the assessment days are late Jan, so I'm wondering how much notice they'll give.
Has anyone applied/heard from Kirkland and Ellis?
