Mine currently says 70% with a tick by candidate review. Last year I was at 77% at this stage so not feeling too hopeful... maybe they just haven't got round to reading mine yet idk

Include any information that naturally doesn't fit into other questions or sections (and not just because you ran out of word count) that you would like to present because it shows another positive side or quality to yourself. This could be a whole range of things to be honest - so it is quite difficult to explain what you could include in here, but basically use this to highlight anything you are proud of/think is important to include to get a good picture of you as an applicant, that you haven't been asked to provide before.
No idea but hazarding a guess here - the extra 7% may just mean that they've opened and read your app maybe?
Makes perfect sense, thank you!Don't throw it out with the bathwater! That being said, I'd only keep the factual answers (state your skills, achievements etc.) the same and change everything else, even if the changes are minor. Try to build on your motivations with new, more detailed examples, think of other things about the firm that you've learnt since you last applied to add, reflect deeply about your skills/abilities that match well the firm and find a way to weave them into your application. Does this make sense?
Hi everyone! I'm just finishing my draft for the Freshfields app and know that on a few events I've been to, they said they wanted a lot of the app focused on you but I was wondering how much about why i want to train at Freshfields should I include?
I am working on the A&O application Question 2 which is how you will apply these skills as a trainee will the skill of overcoming challenges is a good skill to discuss and how I will overcome this challenge as a trainee by handling conflicting issues as a trainee.
I don't think the progress percentage really means anything at this point.

Remember that explaining why you want to work for Freshfields is focusing on you!
Having read thousands of FBD apps, I don't think there is really a set answer to how much you write for this, but I would make sure it is covered well in the personal statement. To me, the personal statement needs to show as much about your past experiences as possible (without repeating information from other sections) but this has to be balanced with it being forward looking as to why the career and firm are right for you.
Same here! I think CC's website says that we will hear about the application outcome by 22/12?
Can you send me the link please, I thought we would hear earlier as they were very quick with the 2023 TCs

Does MB give feedback or a performance report on the initial SJT/competency tests?
Yes you get a report with your strengths and scores for each section of the verbal test. Got mine a few days after
it took me around 2, but I took lots of breaks to calm down
