    Thanks. I thought mine didn't go well. I didn't get to complete my answer to the final question. My AC, in contrast, was great. Mine was just over a week I think.

    I would definitely not use that as an opportunity to sell yourself. Among other things, it could demonstrate that you don't read and follow instructions. I also had no MC's, but I used this section to say that because my A'Levels are from Cambridge, A is the equivalent of A* in their grading...

    Sorry to hear that. Don't lose hope, and don't get down. For one, it's early and two, it doesn't help. You know what you have to do. The more apps you do, the more the chances of getting even one increase. So crack on.

    Jones Day had this question on their app as well. I got a PFO in the end but said: "While I chose not to use AI tools in completing my application, I fully support their integration in the legal sector and application process. Jones Day’s white paper on AI regulation highlights the firm’s...

    I made quite a few applications this cycle. Within the first week, I got a PFO from Jones Day and thought, here we go again... But then I said PFO to Jones Day and kept going.
