YEah I am in the exact same boat!

I remember seeing your post when you got the WG, and then me rushing to see my emails(as my notifs are off) to see that I also got the WG that day. Hopefully history repeats itself, though with an AC invite for us both

Yeah me too! Tbh, what worries me more is seeing people get rejected with 90 percentiles(highest I ever got was high 60s!), but can only hope for the best

From my knowledge, anecdotally speaking, people who did the app latest for WG invites, so maybe they're just going in reverse order and hopefully we hear (good) news soon? fingers crossed!

I applied as well. On their website it states that candidates will hear back before the end of February so we should hear back in the next week or two.

I just submitted my Macfarlanes direct TC application and this is legit me

 

[FlapJack3000]

not sure if this is helpful but I literally got offered the WG today, I reckon that implies there's still a few more interview days to be had otherwise why ask me to do one, but who knows

When did you apply?

No, thank goodness. It’s now 4 questions at 300 words each. I just have been writing and rewriting it for about 4 weeks so let’s just say I’m very invested.

For Freshfields, my portal was updated on Jan 29 but I heard nothing (post app). Should I chase grad recruitment for an update?

I emailed them on Friday. They said they’re still reviewing apps and sending out WG

Oh thank you. It's just a bit worrying to see that update on the portal but no news ever come through.

Hi guys, does anyone know if Pinsent Masons direct TC application is rolling or not?

I know mine was updated on 1st Feb and I’ve not heard anything either.

Anyone who is still waiting, has anyone emailed Slaughter's HR to enquire about progress on their direct TC app? If so, can you let me know/PM me ?
