    I'm just panicking now. It feels like a-levels all over again and revising for exams

    Hey everyone, I'm reading through Jake Schogger/Chris Stoakes's books and I have a general understanding of the M&A process but I actually cannot remember all the tiny minute details like "liability caps" or "break clauses" really detailed stuff. Would this be detrimental at AC?

    You're your own worst critic (have I got this expression right?) I'm sure the VI went a lot smoother than you think! I know what it's like to sound robotic though 😅 this is probably tmi, but I have such a stiff poker face that I could be the happiest person in the world and in my mind, I feel...

    I think getting your apps reviewed by people is really great - helps to get a fresh pair of eyes to look over for grammar, spelling mistakes etc. At the same time, just because they have secured the roles, it doesn't suddenly make them an expert on application writing. Chances are, they...

    Silly question, but for Simmons - if my logic and verbal tests says 'completed' but my VI says 'finished' is that something I should be worried about? Only asking because I had so so many tech issues during the VI

    If I applied to an open day and got in, but then using the same application just lengthier to apply for a vac scheme but didn't even progress to the next stage, what would be some of the reasons? Just trying to learn and improve from mistakes 😅

    May the people who have emailed Macfarlanes grad rec update the rest of us if you get a reply? I'm not going to email because I can imagine they're absolutely bombarded with emails but still want to be in the loop!

    Anyone else just find it so difficult to align your interests with the firm like I don't have experiences in most of the legal practice areas so it seems really empty saying "I find private equity work interesting" because I can't back up that statement.

    If it's logistical issues then they would understand why the answer was cut short. She probably asked you to wrap up because they're doing back to back interviews and running a tight schedule, don't worry about it :)

    You could do, I don't think it would hurt or help your chances. People tend to thank their interviewers after an ac though :)

    Thanks! In terms of TI - it's the typical why law, why NRF, one commercial question, one competency etc. It's very brief phone call and grad rec are so lovely. My advice is don't script answers (they can tell) and don't over prepare, just make it very natural. The interview bit isn't very...

    I really wouldn't worry about it because we don't know how and in what order they're reviewing applications. I know it's hard to stop speculating... I just saw someone receive an A&O AC and I applied earlier than them and haven't heard back, so I totally get it. It's unlikely that they will...
