I think looking back at other years, there are at least 3 batches for WG.
Freshfields did tell @zeyad214 that they will be sending them in the coming days till the end of the month, so I would not lose hope.
There were people in the summer who got the WG right at the end and got AC invites the day after they did the WG. It is all a process and I would say everyone who has not heard back is still in the running in my opinion. Things can change so quickly!

best of luck for your ac ali!! thank you for spreading optimism on this forum ahahah <33
yes we defo are, it’s not a rejection till it is, fingers crossed for all of us
God bless you lol. Here I was sitting and thinking it’s the end.
Starting to wonder if they have even reviewed my app or they are yet to read it.
Anyone with an FF AC (from first batch of WG tests) - what date did you take/submit the test?
I got the test in the first batch - and did it Wednesday but havent heard back either way
Yeha idk what people are saying if rej’s are out just at app stage or test stage too
Can you clarify if you submitted the WG test
Can you clarify if you submitted the WG test
I was first round WG, still heard nothing. Guess we’ll see
My bet is in WG mark limbo. Probably just short of auto AC or something. Although that's pure speculation
