Hey! Congratulations on getting the MC offer that is amazing and a great achievement already. I am a bit baffled if your heart is set on getting a TC offer from a US firm why are you still applying to MC firms like
Freshfields? That AC could of easily went to someone else who wants a MC firm offer. That’s my opinion anyway. I would recommend reaching out to the GR at US firms or speak to current or future trainees who can go over your app with you to see where you are falling down that should be your main priority.
I am happy to put you in contact with two of my friends who are current trainees at US firms
