    Also any tips on how to answer this: If someone were to read your story so far, what would make them think, ‘This person belongs at Macfarlanes’? 300 words - unsure on how much detail to put re the firm vs myself

    Does everyone get invited to do the Macfarlanes simulate? Does it mean my app review was successful?

    Morgan Lewis & Macfarlanes allow you to reapply in the same cycle if you are rejected before AC stage. The rest is unlikely to offer you a place after being rejected in the same cycle. BCLP and White & Case would still consider if you ever had an AC in previous cycle but failed, but others...

    Hi! I've been invited to a Macfarlanes assessment centre next month. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or had any recent experiences at the firm that they could share :)
