[QUOTE="Paul Jules Steullet, post: 202252, member: 39463"] You can do both! That is probably better practice but certainly not a bright line rule. This year I did 33 apps (last yr did 2 made it to AC on both got 1) and have 3 schemes so far at Skadden, GD. 10 pending apps remaining and 20 pfo’s but only 4 post app- Cleary, JD, S&C and S&M. Most I had VI’s and varying levels of progression 3 to final interview-W&C, CC, A&O. Of those had to withdraw from 2 because of date conflicts with my 3 schemes- ML (has in one scheme that conflicts with GD) and Fieldfisher DS (same). I will say that I began preparing in summer though. The questions mostly remain the same save for 1 or 2 of them so got working on drafting and selecting 5-6 CA topics to master. I was also able to extrapolate things from one app to the next with minor or more substantial amendments. I honestly don’t think I would have had the success I have if I hadn’t done the volume of apps. I also don’t have a full time job and have graduated last year so I have more time tbf. This doesn’t mean my strategy will work for everyone. You have to assess you own circumstances and devise a strategy. For me, I played the lottery and the more tickets I had the better my chances. I’m with you [USER=3507]@Tintin06[/USER]!!! [/QUOTE]
