Does anyone know what the word count for Fried Frank's app questions is? They only provide a word count for the cover letter.

Feeling really worried about Kennedys - it has been about five weeks now since my AC and have not heard back yet. I do understand though that they were conducting more ACs but just really hoping for a response soon and crossing my fingers that I get the TC offer from them!
Hey!
I wouldn't worry too much about this, as firms see mitigating circumstances similar to this quite often. The best approach is to keep it brief and factual - explain that you experienced a short episode of anxiety / panic before the exam, that it impacted your performance and led to a resit, and that it isn't reflective of your overall academic record. You can also mention your resit result (or other grades) to reinforce your ability, and show that this is a one-off incident.
As long as it is presented clearly and without over-detail, it shouldn't be looked down on at all
congrats on the VI, I’m in the exact same predicament, please let me know if you find out anything about it
Regarding the WG, they don’t give out scores.
Just realised I never completed the mitigating circumstances portion on the Linklaters application - I completed it back in November so idk if its worth contacting grad rec about it
considering no one seems to have heard back I would say go for it.
In the worst case it's too late and won't change anything but you never know...
How long do Macfarlanes take to get back to you after the work sim / video interview? Haven't they done some DTC assessment centres already? Am I cooked?
Congratulations! I will let you know if I am able to find any further (helpful) info. Best of luck regardlesscongrats on the VI, I’m in the exact same predicament, please let me know if you find out anything about it
Regarding the WG, they don’t give out scores.
Ahh thought so, shame it would have been helpful to identify any weak points. Thank Thanks so much!!
Did they give you a timeline about when they would get back? If not, maybe an email on this to the grad rec would be helpful.
Kennedys TC London offer!!!
