[QUOTE="Amgrad, post: 225947, member: 42426"] I'm surprised too, but I never met them at their events, so I can't say what's missing in me. Definitely something that is not covered in my app that they're looking for. The only difference is I don't have any VS/direct legal experience. 🥲 I feel second essay miss some informal abbreviation like (I've), but not sure whether that is red flag or not for them. Where in my first essay I did mention why firm only and mentioned the recent deal involved with my country, and noticed it might too far to link it back with my experience lol as it's Islamic finance deal. Maybe I should highlighted that I went to Islamic boarding school pre university when I studied it rather than connect with my work during college or now post graduation.😢 Anyway, I also realized in the US at least my American friend said Clifford Chance is hard to get into and it's nominated by Vault as one of Top 5 most selective firm. Some Americans thought CC is American firm too 🤣 [URL]https://vault.com/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-law-firms-to-work-for/selectivity#rankings-group-0[/URL] [/QUOTE]
