    I am awaiting confirmation as to whether or not my application was successful for an AC. I submitted the application in mid September and received a confirmation 2 weeks later that I had passed the tests and my application would now be under review. But nothing yet and it’s been so long

    It’s really ridiculous how A&O GR are taking this long to get back to candidates. Surely they should have got to a decision as to whether or not ppl have progressed to an AC or not.

    Tbh I wouldn’t say most ACs for A&O have occurred. I am only aware that only 2/3 people overall have had ACs with the firm. I do believe that the firm is giving ACs to those who did the first year scheme first bc they most probs got fast tracked to the AC and then I think they’re gonna move to...

    I’m sorry but having a platform like TCLA where you are able to ask for general advice regarding cover letters and how to improve your commercial awareness is COMPLETELY different from being given the exact questions in a VI. It undermines the entire process and the only person benefiting is the...

    Anyone who completed the Clyde and Co VI, was this for the winter vac scheme ?

    I’m not sure, that’s why I asked. The final stage after the VI is the AC, that’s why.

    Anyone who has received an A&O AC for the winter VC already, did you have any ties with the firm? Like you did the first year scheme ??
