    If Sidley is handing out interview invites to those who applied on the deadline day, does this mean people who applied end of dec are most likely getting rejected?

    Hi @Jessica Booker I am waiting to hear back from Freshfields and some people have said they send WG invites in batches. Out of curiosity, I was wondering how these firms send invites? Do they wait until the first batch completes the test and see how many candidates they have rejected and...

    It should also be noted that not everyone are on TCLA and post on here. Maybe they did send two batches? Someone here said that they went to a GROW event and Freshfields mentioned they send it in batches! This year for vac scheme there were two batches. Loads of people got it on Jan 5th and...

    People have said that they send it in batches? Maybe that could be why. Maybe applications are divided between grad rec members and some people work through it quicker compared to the rest. I am not sure. I am trying to be positive as well!

    I genuinely think they haven’t gotten to Summer yet (not sure which one you applied for). I think they were busy with WVS and have started with Spring. I got the same email too!

    One of the grad rec members posted on linkedin saying that she has been getting a lot of queries and they aim to get back to everyone by Feb! She deleted the post tho. It also mentioned they received over 800 applications! The interview invites I’ve seen so far seem to be candidates who applied...
