[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 217430, member: 40237"] Hi! I’d say it can definitely be worth applying for the Macfarlanes dinner. Firms usually factor in the timing of their introductory events when looking at applications, since they know lots of candidates will want to attend first and then apply. Attending the dinner could give you useful insights into the firm’s culture, practice areas, and training, which you can then use to strengthen your vac scheme application. So, if you think you’d genuinely benefit from it — e.g. by making connections with trainees/associates and picking up examples to reference in your application — I’d suggest going for the dinner and then submitting your vac scheme application afterwards. It’s less about speed and more about quality, so waiting a little while to write a stronger, better-informed application can actually help. [/QUOTE]
