If anyone did Macfarlanes AC today and hear back please let me know. So I can know my faith😩! First ever AC done. Not sure how I feel but trying to stay positive☺️. Time to prepare for my second and last AC for the cycle 😩Happy to exchange Macfarlanes Ac insight for HSF AC insight! Also, Feel free to DM for insight even if you don’t have anything to exchange.

People with Travers Smith rejections, sorry to hear that. Did any of you apply on the deadline day?

 

[via1511]

Anyone heard from Mills & Reeve?

 

[AS24]

Does anyone have a link to Greenberg's website where I can check the status of my application?

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

Not latham sending me a PFO that said it was for the open day (I didn’t apply) then following up with an email saying it was an error.. and it was a VS PFO instead

I wondered that too because I thought this was one where I emailed the application?

 

[Chris Brown]

This might sound like a stupid question, but if an application asks for references, what exactly are they looking for?

I am almost finished with my Paul Hastings SVS application and it asks for two references, but I don’t know what that means lmao. This is one of the perks of a first application cycle. 🤣

Is this like an academic reference so maybe a lecturer or professor from university, or is this an employer reference? Is it kind of like the UCAS teacher reference thing? Please help. 🥲​

 

[manifestingthetc]

Has anyone heard from V&E post VI, and Slaughters post interview?

I still haven't heard back since I did the VI and not sure whether to assume PFO?

 

[LawHopeful1]

Pretty sure V&E are waiting to interview everyone before giving out offers. Still interviews going on this week so will probs hear after

Thank you! By interviews, have in person interviews been offered or do you mean the video interviews are still being reviewed?

Typically they ask for one academic and one professional - academic should probably be a lecturer you may have had contact with, professional probs a superior

 

[191919191]

Anyone still waiting from Slaughters? I might be the only person waiting this?! They haven’t got back to me since Nov/Dec…

 

[jacksollaf]

nice little Katten pfo

 

[B101]

Travers pfo, dtc applications it is🙃

 

[lawyer195]

Has anyone else done their PW interview yet?

 

[adrian_nlh]

Loads of Travers PFOs and even saw someone had an offer today and yet I still haven't received anything from them in any capacity.

Guess my PFO is pending

Quite a few person interviews have been offered

 

[Mathlaw432]

Anyone got their AC interview with Ropes next week, it SUCH a long process/day ?

 

[Mathlaw432]

also has anyone heard back from covington post AC, or is it OVER to PFO land

 

[Interested_In_Law]

Still not heard from Ropes, Travers or Latham 😭😭

 

[Chris Brown]

4 elements (1 written, 1 presentation, 1 group exercise, 1 interview) and a psychometric test before the AC

This is what someone said the Ropes AC consists of. It sounds like a full day thing tbh.​
