Did anybody email NRF to find out their WG score? I am unsure whether to email or not.. it can be confusing with these percentages/ percentile differences so not sure how useful knowing my score will be !
Did anyone receive a confirmation email after completing their WG test for NRF?
No I didn’t receive confirmation, the only thing I received was a new link to re-enter the test in my junk folder!
If anyone is after some timeframe answers from freshies, they are answering people's questions on their insta story.
It says: we hope to get back to all SVS applicants in the next few weeks. TC applicants may not hear from us until mid-march (although many will be sooner). As we receive so many applications, the length of time between applying, receiving a WG test (only those shortlisted), and hearing an outcome can vary greatly as we work our way through all applications.
One of the earlier ones said that they are only now starting to make decisions on TC applicants. Not sure whether that means they are making interview invite decisions or just still making their way through apps and deciding who to give WG invites to.

Hi all, I just had a thought and would very much appreciate any thoughts. If I’m listing the open days I’ve attended in the work experience section of an application form, will it look bad if I list firms which are quite different than the firm I’m applying to?
Edited to add: I have also attended an open evening with this firm, which I intend to talk about in greater detail.

Nope, I think I'm just going to wait and see if I make it to the next stage, as with yourself I don't know how useful knowing my score would be outside of that.
Thank you! That's quite a relief then. Good luck to you too!
Are most people currently waiting for a response from Freshfields waiting at the post-Watson Glaser stage?
I applied for direct TC and haven't been sent a WG, but I know that many people have. So I'm assuming that's a PFO but would be interested to know if anyone else is in the same boat
I haven’t heard back from FF for the direct TC either. My application was updated about two weeks ago but no news from them yet. I think a few ppl are on this thread are on the same boat as us

That makes me feel better thank you
The type of firm doesn't matter; after all it is an open day, so you're just trying to see if you enjoy the work they do and could see yourself pursuing that type of law.
I would say group all your open days under one work experience heading, just to save space. Briefly mention you attended x y z firm open days, and then go into detail about what you learned on THAT (the firm your applying to) open day, mentioning any practice areas, speakers, activities you engaged in etc.
PFO from Mayer Brown, post online tests. Have been waiting for this email tbh
Anyone else not heard back from NRF post direct TC application?! I emailed them and no answer
EDIT: I tried calling now, no one is picking up. Oh well...
