    Nope. I've seen that W&C had told those that have done the AC that they will get back to them mid Feb, so I'm unsure what that means for us ? Could be that they might hold more ACs after this if the spaces havent filled up after?

    It is a pretty relaxed AC compared to others I have had. When you arrive be very proactive and get to know everyone because they might end up in your group. It's better to have already built that sort of rapport beforehand so it makes the group exercise less daunting! Written exercise was an...

    With all this discourse on adjustments I must say that I was extremely impressed with PwC’s process where you just submit evidence on your portal and it automatically gives you adjustments on your tests and interviews.

    Yeah a lot of law firms say that in their email I just ignore it because response rates for a lot of firms are very slow nowadays. I just do it to get free practice in anyways even if I do end up with an PFO 😭

    I hate it when law firms do this! Same thing happened to me twice, I received no reply for adjustments and had to just complete the test without it.

    Hey, I've applied to many firms without attending in-person events and have been offered ACs. There are many ways to show your interest in a firm like through attending online events, completing forage work experiences or even trying to link your work experience or insight events in a practice...

    I would recommend mentioning firms that are similar to the one you are applying to so if they are US, MC, silver or regional firms. They normally ask this to gauge how interested you are in the firm in an indirect way and haven't just applied there on a whim because they will be investing a lot...

    Are you part of any committee in a university society? Or volunteered in a particular initiative? These are experiences I would mention in this question and expand on what transferable skills you have developed from them which would be useful as a lawyer like communication or interpersonal skills.
