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.
All rooting for you mate 👊🏻
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.
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

Hi @Amma Usman ,@Andrei Radu and @Ram Sabaratnam hope you guys doing well. I got upcoming VS (my first ever offer). Just wondering if you my have tips/ trick for VS (ideally to convert it to TC)? Appreciate your suggestion !
Has anyone heard from Womble Bond since applications closed. I assumed they sent the test automatically but have not heard anything yet.
