    They might have really liked the firm and wanted to shoot their shot again. I know someone who was not offered a TC after completing Hogan's VS so they applied again the next cycle and was offered one

    Hello, this is a pretty last minute request for advice for the WG but I would truly appreciate any advice you may have. For context, it is due tomorrow.

    Okay that has reassured me! I did the Freshfields first year scheme and checked to see when they sent the WG for that. They sent it 2-4 weeks after the initial application which is promising

    Hello everyone. I haven’t heard back from Freshfields, Hogan Lovells and White and case for anything. I completed HL’s first year scheme so I emailed grad recruitment that I don’t need to complete the WG which they confirmed but haven’t heard anything else. Haven’t received a Freshfields WG...

    Completely agree with this! If firms are gonna use SJTs, they should be part of interviews so candidates can explain their answers properly.
