    I remember that freshfields is not rolling. I applied for the direct TC in the previous cycle and I got the WG invite 3 weeks after the deadline. I had a friend who got it like 5 weeks after the deadline. So don’t lose hope! It is not a rejection until a rejection arrives in your inbox.

    Does FF get back to people on a rolling basis or are they waiting to interview everyone first? Because if it is the latter, iirc ACs only wrap up in the 3rd week of September
