Bit of a rogue one but would anyone be willing to let me read their successful Withers or Farrers application? Really like the firms so just want to check whether I'm on the right track...

Would happily share any of my successful applications and/or proofread one of your apps in return! Please message me if you'd be willing to share 🤍

I have only got through to one VI this year and turned down one VS last year due to having to leave my current role, to go from part time to full time study intensity for a potential conversion of a TC...

Think I made the right choice...
