I got an interview with W&C last year, and I wrote my extracurricular activities & events in bullet points. For each activity/event, I added a sentence or two about what I learnt/what skills I gained.

HSF say you have to wait 2 years. Travers Smith say no. I think most law firms have this rule but not all law firms.
Lol overthinking much, but now got the random stress that I'll never make it past an AC stage and run out of firms or something lol!
Don't worry my advice is when you reach an assessment centre I suggest book in a mock interview with TCLA if you think you are not making it past assessment centres. If I reached an assessment centre I would do that.
Thank you - it's actually the non interview bits I struggle with most e.g. negotiations etc!
Most firms don't let you reapply after interview, but US firms with small intakes are more likely to be flexible about it
hi guys, a lot of people have got their macfarlanes ac, if we haven't heard, does that mean I'm rejected
I don't think anyone here can answer that unfortunately...but remember it's not a rejection until you hear definitively from the firm in question!
Could you tell me how long your cover letter and app questions were please (as theres no word limit this year).
Sorry if this is a silly question but I just want to be clear- since the Osborne Clarke deadline is 15/01, does that mean we have until 23:59pm that day to submit it?
The Careers Events question - there was a limit of 350 words last year, so I wrote around 340.
The Extracurricular Activities question - 380 words.
Cover Letter - 800 words
yes you are right; I spent sooo much time on the macfarlanes app perfecting it, its the one firm I rlly want to work at, so much that I'll apply as many times as I possibly can to get in
Hi! - Just wanted to let you know that you also need to complete the verbal reasoning test before 23:59 on 15 Jan 2022, after submitting your application for it to be considered
They send it to you automatically after application submission 🙂
