Hello and happy new year!
I received a Training Contract offer from Clifford Chance yesterday! 🥹🌟🌃There it is, my cycle has ended (somewhat) and it really feels so surreal. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this community and all the support I have received here.
I will leave my CC application timeline in this post for anyone who needs the info in future cycles:

CC was the very first law firm I interacted with when I started thinking about a corporate law career. I did their Forage virtual internship in 2021, and till today it remains the only Forage internship I completed LOL. It feels like I have really come full circle 🥹 If anyone's thinking of applying to CC, I definitely recommend doing the Forage internships first. It is a great way to show interest and it gives you so much to talk about during the interview, especially on questions that test your understanding of a trainee's day to day work.
