Still nothing from Freshfields, getting a bit ridiculous at this point, didn't think they were the type to ghost
I haven't finished my application yet. Guess there's no harm applying, I'll see if anything comes from it.
Also got a Freshfields WG invite - completely surprised as it so late but goes to show you never really know what firms are going to do. Good luck to all those still waiting xx
Darn, was hoping they hadn't started sending them out. In any case, I hope they get back to you!
If I did my Freshfields WG two weeks ago (final year student here, applied for TC 2024) and I still haven't heard back should I start crying myself to sleep? Considering they're still handing out WG invites I guess I can postpone the pity party?
Also to ask again how did you all see your WG results? Someone asked in the thread before but I didn't see anyone answering it.

Freshfields AC! I would be super grateful if anyone could give some advice on what to expect?
Nooo please don't worry. I did mine way earlier than you I only heard back today lol. I did mine around 24 Jan. Also don't stress about WG scores. Last year I scored in 98th percentile on WG but still failed after because I think they re-examine your application again and I guess it depends on competition. I know people who scored lower on the WG (like around 80s) and they got invited to the AC. So it's more to do with your app I'm guessing.
I did my WG around 24 Jan! I saw the latest slot was 18th Marchcongrats! may I ask when you did the WG and when they’re running AC dates till?
Anyone know what Freshfields’ response time post-AC is like? Do they tend to wait til all their ACs are done to give offers?
They do. I emailed grad rec last recruitment cycle and they confirmed they sponsor visas.
