Thank you! I'm not the most articulate person...so that might require a bit of practice lol.

I did not even apply to AG but I wish there were more people with good heart like you on this forum. I once messaged someone to help with insights on Macfarlanes AC and all they said was “all information is provided by the firm” lmao. God bless your kind heart and I hope you also find an helper some day.xx
ACs are happening this week and next week online
Fwiw, I contacted them on Monday, as I realised I had been sent a VI invite but had not received it. They resent in and reset it yesterday, and I completed it the same day.
This would suggest the ACs are not yet finalised.
has anyone successfully passed the macfarlanes application stage and be willing to offer me feedback on my answer to “Why Macfarlanes”
I don’t think I could’ve written a better response.

people who've applied to clifford chance, how have you gone about the achievement in the application question.
I've had this problem with previous applications, and I can never tell what firms want. I have no huge achievements to speak of really. I can either go with a) a more abstract achievement being "during these few months, I struggled a lot with xyz problems, and came through it. Or b) a minor achievement, like as president of my society I organised a ball and it was successfull.
I'm leaning towards a, because while I have numerous type b examples, none of them are really that special or impressive, and i feel it comes across a bit weak

Thank you - rooting for you too.
Your response could be extremely good but there’s the SJT to factor in too- I think that’s what let me down with them.
I felt the same tbh. I felt my answer to why Macfarlanes was decent but that SJT was acc horrid. It defo let me down because they seemed to allude to it in their email which was a semi-PFO. They said I could consider DTC application route. 🤷🏾♂️

Honestly it’s truly disheartening because I know I’ve made immense progress with my written responses.
I never thought I’d have to consider this as a factor in my strategy but I may not bother applying to the firms that use cappfinity .
My highest scoring strengths were adaptability and credibility and my lowest scoring was analysis
I’ve reread my written response and I felt it was absolutely breathtaking lol. So very confused
Bloody hell cappfinity are something else
Thank you.Super proud of you 🫶 🫶❤️ You deserve its so much. You'll smash it
