IM AC!! Received a phone call earlier today, as I have reasonable adjustments. AC offers are to be sent out within next week or so!

Would anyone know what time we can expect a first reply from Lewis Silkin, based on previous years?
Thank you

In the follow-up email they send after submitting an app, they said no later than the 13th of February. Seems like last year's cohort heard back on the 7th.

Hi everyone, If anyone has any insights or experiences relating to the Macfarlanes AC, I would really appreciate it if you could PM me. Thank you very much in advance.

hi when did you get the ac and when did you apply, thanks

Any Birketts updates for regional offices? Thank you!

Has anyone heard back from Charles Russell Speechlys for the London office?

Maybe Friday? Last year I think the Guildford and London VI invites were a week apart and the Guildford ones seem to have been released last Friday

Now to the stress of converting it to a TC when they only take a 1/3 across all vac schemes

Can I ask when you recieved this? And congratulations !!!!

 

[TCGrad1642]

How do you know this?

They specified in the email inviting to SJT that all outcomes would be communicated by end of jan!

 

[pepsicola96]

i have a virtual AC tomorrow and i was wondering what’s appropriate to wear? i kind of don’t want to be sat in a suit all day, so i was thinking a white collared shirt under a plain black jumper? or is that not formal enough (i’m a girl btw - not that it makes a difference but might inform some outfit recommendations lol)

is this the bird and bird AC? If so I'm also attending and I'm thinking I'll wear a suit, but only for the 1 hour interview. The rest of the day it shouldn't really matter what you are wearing (within reason).

Literally an hour ago haha, I think they're rolling them out now! I opened my email on my way back from Cleary's AC and got jumpscared.
