Anyone else not heard from Goodwin post app? I applied 8th of December.
I still haven’t received my feedback report, and I completed the SJT last night. This is for Freshfields btw.
Hey, I was thinking the same but then I received it around 11pm last night. I completed the assessment around the same time the night before so I’m assuming you have to allow 24 hours for the report to come through
CC have begun issuing offers - I know of one person who has offer made yesterday late afternoon. But no news of any rejections or other offers.
I saw someone say two years ago they called people by alphabetical order. Do u think they’re doing that this year as well?
I think I missed the deadline for my Freshfields SJT. Does anyone have any advice? It says 09:00 today and I did not realise it was only two days to complete it.
You could email their grad rec if you have any extenuating circumstances and see what they say but I think they’ll only make exceptions in extreme instances my other advice would be I know it’s hard as you will have spent so much time on the application but use this as a learning opportunity around deadlines add them to your calendar or note them down on your daily to do list so the same won’t happen again
I have never missed a deadline before now. I still cannot believe it has happened. Thank you for responding.
For Freshfields SJT, my top skills are collaboration, credible communicator and growth. Area for development is personal responsibility. Sounds good (so far) as it seems to be in line with their values.
One thing I took away from SJT preps and probably everyone knows this lol but it is to answer as a trainee, not as an associate/partner. It is ok to select responses which relate to asking for help/consulting with supervisor depending on the context as you will do this a lot as a trainee anyways. I was always so quick to select options that show I can do everything and anything by myself and I think that’s where I went wrong with previous SJTs.
Now with that being said, I will probably get rejected lmao but just wanted to share my thoughts on the process. Wish I could borrow someone’s brain for WG in general though!

Last year I received my AC invite in late February so I'm assuming it will be around the same time this year
They rejected me on Jan 3 - if you haven't heard yet it might be a good sign (hopefully!)
