    Has anyone else not heard from Macfarlanes since their first stage test, or been PFOed? I completed it about a month ago and have had silence, but seen that other people got the second stage really quick

    Does Macfarlanes put a heavy significance on grades? My 1st and 2nd year grades weren’t great but I did decent for my placement year and final year and graduated with a mid 2:1 overall. For context I graduated from a mid tier Russell group and currently work as a paralegal - is it worth applying?
