Yep. I’ve gotten average scores and got through to telephone interview both times. It did take a month for them to get back to me though.- Serah O

Is anyone able to offer Slaughter and May application advice, specifically on the cv. For example, is it wise to exclude full breakdown of my results as they are already listed in the application form? Also, is it okay if I take out contact details leaving only my name at the top of the cv...- Serah O

Two amazing news today! Got through to White & Case VI and received an invite to Macfarlanes' AC. This would be my 2nd AC this year. I'm so happy because I've never had more than one AC in a recruitment cycle before! :D Massive thank you to Jaysen for reviewing my application.- Serah O

Good news from Simmons! Their winter scheme is full but they’ll like to invite me to an assessment centre for their summer scheme. This will be my second ever AC, and I’ll like it go much better than the first. So if anyone is willing to share their experience of Simmons AC, I’m all ears.- Serah O
