So sorry to hear this, sending my love and support.
Got a PFO today too, completed the test last Wednesday if that helps.
Firstly, forget anyone or anything that doesn’t align with you- you’re going to be at theee most incredible firm for you and some day you’re going to look back and smile because everything had to work out the way it did for you to be the world changing, smartest, most creative commercial solicitor that you will be. Secondly, we’re all sending all our love and prayers, you’re stronger than you know, you’re 100% going to beat this and this is all going to be part of your origin story ❤️
For the Freshfields personal statement do I need to structure it as a letter? I.e. Dear Graduate Recruitment team, then paragraph explaining your background, yours sincerely etc ? On the applications database of TCLA it has examples of both so Im not sure which is correct
Got RPC WG test and I am soooo nervous. This test has honestly stopped so many of my apps from progressing 
going to practice and practice loads. I have heard it helps, but I literally need to take it by Monday so like :/

Yeh I got drive, personal responsibility and credibility as my highest and analysis as my lowest, thought I was gonna get rejected cos of it tbh

I’m so sorry to hear this, please look after yourself. Praying for your recovery 🙏🏽.

Definitely nothing to read into this if it’s only 2 days since you AC. Could easily be 1-2 weeks, but I would probably follow up with a “I forgot to ask at the AC, but when should I expect to hear back in regards to my performance” email the end of next week if you haven’t heard by then.

No need for any letter formalities. You can just start with your opening sentence/paragraph.
Some people do include them, and you won’t be marked down for doing so, it’s just a waste of words in my opinion and won’t add anything to you personally statement.
Does anyone have insights into Forsters VI? I am happy to share insights for NRF, RPC, Reed Smith, and Bird & Bird's interviews and ACs.
well definitely just failed my first exam in 3 years of uni today, so I look forward to finding some way to explain that on future applications 😀 do people have any advice for explaining resits, where you didn't really have any mitigating circumstances, you were just ill, but not ill enough to get a deferral, and tired and probably didn't revise quite enough anyway.
aside from that Macfarlanes PFO, and CMS WG invite came through during the exam!
