Hey guys, has anyone done the Macfarlanes AC? Please drop me a message if you have or let me know if i can send you a DM. Thanks!!
Does anyone know anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone that has got through to Hogan Lovells AC for the direct 2025 TC? I’ve only seen rejections so far so don’t know if they’ve started inviting people to ACs yet

The issue is the marking system is not consistent.
A 30th percentile for one firm could actually be a better outcome (with a stronger performance) than the 90th percentile for another firm.
I’m just assuming PFO but why can’t they just hurry and tell us ppl heard ages ago now 😅
I am also waiting to hear back from Hogan Lovells as well. I am assuming a PFO for NRF. I have seen so many people get to TI stage and I haven’t hear back.
For Hogan Lovells, If we have just seen rejections and still haven’t heard back, that might be a good sign. I spoke with someone who applied and got the offer in the April intake. They informed me if they take time to get back then, that is a sign they could be sorting out ACs.
Hi everyone,
I had an AC today (my first one ever) and the interviewers asked me about the firm's competitors, and factors which distinguish others from the market. But they did not explicitly ask me why I wanted to work at the firm...I answered their questions and mentioned some deals which I found interesting but I am concerned that this did not flesh out my motivations to work there enough. The interviewers did not probe further and moved onto competencies - is this a bad sign?
Thanks a lot

I'll call Hogan Lovells and White & Case today to ask when we may hear.
If anyone wants me to ask them anything else, please let me know.

Oh well didn’t hear back for a long time and I never have any luck with W&C so I’m expecting a PFO already lol
Same, I'm planning for winter, but no news is no news.
When I applied to Debevoise & Plimpton in 2019, I was CONVINCED it was a no, and I re-read my application and found legion typos and spelling errors, I thought I'd come over as stiff and stubborn in the interview, but I ended up getting the VS.
It's not over 'til it's over.

Could you maybe also ask them how long the interview process will generally be? (i.e., when successful candidates should expect to secure their TC) Thanks!
