how long did it take for people to hear back from CC AC?

They told me to expect to hear back latter half of next week and that was for 2024

Just did an AC and literally can’t tell if it went well or badly 🤣

I got 96% of FF WG, is that good. Cuz I heard that sometimes when you score high, you also may get rejected.

It is a very good score, but it isn’t just the WG result that gets you to the next stage. For other firms I have scored 97 and 98 and not progressed any further than WG…

How do you know what you got? Also was this for 2024 TC?

It’s unlikely you will get rejected if the FF WG result was looked at in isolation. But I suspect it isn’t. When I was there, they used to add the test score to the application and they were reviewed together, so your application could be unsuccessful based on the content of your application rather than the test score.

There would be absolutely no logic in rejecting someone just because they had a 90+ percentile ranking.

Freshhh are ghosting me so badly pre-WG. Should I assume it's a PFO at this point?

Same but I don’t think they’ve even reviewed my application yet as my portal hasn’t been updated since I submitted so I wouldn’t assume that just yet!

When did you apply for the TC if you don’t mind me asking? D

Heyy when do Freshfields/links get back to direct tc applicants?

Hello, just called grad rec to ask. They said that they are just beginning to screen TC apps and not to worry at all if we haven't heard back yet.

 

[DisciplineTC2526]

Has anyone heard back from Linklaters for the 2024 TC (or any other intake for that matter)?

Thanks! Is this for Freshfields Or links?

 

[aspiringsolicitor98]

Has anyone heard back from A&O post-AC?

 

[SecretSantaxx]

Thanks! Is this for Freshfields Or links?

Freshfields. Links also indicated on their facebook story (posted 2 hours ago, its still there as of now you can take a look) that they are still in the process of inviting candidates to ACs and reviewing applications so not to worry.
