They send your report if you request themI don’t believe they sent test reports back this year, but they did last year and I didn’t have to redo it this time around cause I passed the first time. They sent as a pdf like this View attachment 5441

It can definitely feel like they are requiring something so specific. I felt the same way last year when I was applying and I could not have any luck with magic circle firms (even though I knew I would prefer a US firm regardless). I feel like, especially as a mature student or international student, US firms tend to be more interested in you and your life journey and why you are transitioning in law, recognising your diverse skillset and how it could be useful to them too. So I would encourage you to focus on US firms. That is what I have done and I ended up having multiple offers as an international student (with an undergraduate degree outside of the UK) which was another hurdle in itself!I am starting to think that i just dont fit the profile of what mc firms are looking for.
I thought my app for ao cc hsf were all quite strong and passed all the tests but everything has been pfo.
maybe its because of my grade or the fact that i am a mature student but dont think I'll apply for mcs now
It is not a PFO - they are putting your application on hold.just received this - what does this mean? is this normal language for PFO?
We have reviewed your application and we thought it was very strong. Unfortunately, we are unable to progress you to the next recruitment stage at this time. As we think your application has great potential, we would like to put your application status on hold for now and we will be in touch in the coming weeks about whether we can progress your application.
It won’t be because you are a mature applicant. I have a different experience to @axelbeugre - from my time in MC firms, they were very open to taking career changers on and in fact would have enough in each intake to demonstrate that was never an issue.I am starting to think that i just dont fit the profile of what mc firms are looking for.

Unfortunately there really wouldn’t be any clear indication of what the chances would be, as it will always vary from process to process.I wanted to know what are the chances of getting through to the next stage of the recruitment process if the application is on hold? Also, is it a good thing that it's on hold?
Thing I’m wondering about is for people who received invites, they said the only date options were the 12th and 13th December.Probably not possible, but anyone heard from A&O today🥲🥲
Congratulations! Any thoughts on what the third question might be? Have you found any resources that could help us possibly prepare for it (as in is it a competency or motivational third question)?CC Video interview
Congratulations to you, my friend! Any thoughts on what the third question might be? Do you reckon it's a motivational (i.e. about the firm) or a competency-based question (i.e. tell us about a time...)?Clifford Chance Video Interview
I have been looking around and cannot find any information about that I'm preparing every possible question at this pointCongratulations to you, my friend! Any thoughts on what the third question might be? Do you reckon it's a motivational (i.e. about the firm) or a competency-based question (i.e. tell us about a time...)?
That's brutal. Did you apply on the deadline too?Guess what !!! A&O pfo just right now.

Hi Rachel, Yeah, same here as well! Seems like it's because the VI stage is a recent addition to the process. Hoping it's a competency-based question since those are fairly standard, but if not, then that 1 minute worth of preparation we get before the recording starts will be incredibly important.I have been looking around and cannot find any information about that I'm preparing every possible question at this point
Could not agree more, hopefully the nerves don't get the better of me!Hi Rachel, Yeah, same here as well! Seems like it's because the VI stage is a recent addition to the process.

Yes I did.That's brutal. Did you apply on the deadline too?
Sorry to hear! What date does your portal show? I have a feeling that the A&O portal takes a while to send out rejection emails (e.g. GR might have rejected your application yesterday, but the email is sent out only 24 hours later).Guess what !!! A&O pfo just right now.
