I haven't heard anything either, but given that its post-6 on a Friday and interview is next week assuming sodo you think all the invites have been sent out? if I've not heard back is this probs a PFO?
I completely forgot about my Farrer application until I got a PFO (written application stage).
I have a TC at one of their competitors so I think it goes to show how luck is a big factor in this process … keep going, you got this !!

Hi! So sorry to hear it didn't go as well as you'd hoped. Just wondering - when did you apply, and when did you get the VI invite?
Not for Slaughters but I have had a CV that had two small grammar errors (missed an 'of' between two words and had a comma in the wrong place) I still got a Vac scheme and a final interview with it. I think we all think they pay more attention than they actually do; I spoke to a recruiter for a large firm and she said she can only really spend a minute or two on it depending on how many applications they have to look at. So they really might not notice if it is hidden at the end of a sentence.
Two things I learned recently that I feel will benefit some people here:
1. If you have ever applied to Slaughter and May via the direct TC route and didn't get an interview invite, don't bother applying again unless there's something majorly different about your application. This was one of their FAQs.
2. If you are a qualified lawyer outside of the UK, even if you have just graduated/cleared the bar exam in your home country, you cannot apply to Macfarlanes via the direct TC route. Again, this was one of their FAQs.

I applied on 5th June and got the invitation on 10th June!
Out of curiosity, is this a waiting list in terms of spots for an AC session in the event that the current AC candidates do not progress?
