    Sorry to ask again but has anyone still not heard back from W&C post VI? I'm seeing a lot of stuff about ACs so I'm not feeling especially optimistic but who knows 🙃
    I think you guys will hear after the spring scheme is over, so in early April.

    Think they are dealing with rejecting and giving out offers to the people who have already done an AC and will then offer more ACs depending on how many places are left.

    I just received my feedback from Freshfields, surprisingly, my weakest point was the written assessment where I did not meet the cutoff of 11/19. I think people take this part for granted when it could be why you don't get an offer and it's the easiest part to prepare for as well.
    The exact same happened to me when I did the AC this winter just gone, a real kick in the guts... But, at least we know our interview and case study skills are good - just need to brush up on spotting errors!

    Here's a song that ChatGPT wrote for anyone who needs it today:

    Sometimes it feels like I'm not enough,
    Like I don't measure up to some invisible standard,
    But who decides what's good or bad,
    And why do I let it hold me down so hard?

    I am enough, just the way I am,
    With all my flaws and imperfections,
    I am enough, I deserve love and respect,
    And I won't let these doubts take me down again.

    It's easy to get lost in all the noise,
    And forget that I have something unique to offer,
    But there's beauty in my strengths and weaknesses,
    And I won't let anyone tell me I'm a failure.

    I am enough, just the way I am,
    With all my flaws and imperfections,
    I am enough, I deserve love and respect,
    And I won't let these doubts take me down again.

    I won't compare myself to others,
    I won't let their achievements define me,
    I'll focus on my own journey,
    And embrace who I am meant to be.

    I am enough, just the way I am,
    With all my flaws and imperfections,
    I am enough, I deserve love and respect,
    And I won't let these doubts take me down again.

    A firm said they would be giving feedback post AC. It's been around 2 months and still not had any updates. I've emailed them to say if we would be getting a feedback call but no response. Any ideas on what to do? :)
