Two amazing news today! Got through to White & Case VI and received an invite to Macfarlanes' AC. This would be my 2nd AC this year. I'm so happy because I've never had more than one AC in a recruitment cycle before! :D
Massive thank you to Jaysen for reviewing my application.
I just had a phone call with the Grad Rec for Macfarlanes so if you want my notes just PM me :)
