I have a D average in law. In the email they said they were impressed with my university and personal experiences, so it may be that they were not solely focused on marks.

Good luck hyper!

Does anyone know if the firms more likely to contact us via email, phone or sms when offering first round interviews?

Congrats, sounds like you might get a few offers.

DLA Phillip Fox has started sending out rejections (weird that it was sent out today)(not sure if they have offered any interviews yet). So far I have only heard from Freehills but no interviews offered from anyone else who has sent rejections either...not knowing is worse I think lol.

Looks like unlike Freehills, the others have sent out initial rejections and then the more rejections and interviews are on the way.

Much worse. Now I've been lulled into a false sense of security.

I haven't heard from DLA Phillip Fox yet
I think I'll get rejected by them though

But yeah I think your theory is right
send out the rejections to the people who get cut straight away
and then they'll have more after that

But we'll see how this week goes...

I just got the rejection email from DLA Phillips Fox. Two down, many to go.

I agree, not knowing and waiting sucks =(
