i think u need to go to the freshfields training contract page..click apply itll take you directly to the applications bit. Sign in.. you should see ”submit draft ” in blue towards the right side of your app.. i know it sounds weird but i had the same issues last night when trying to submit my app without going from the tc page
My savior..my angel..I sincerely hope you get your training contract!

It is just my personal feeling. It basically said “please can you refrain from contacting the Graduate recruitment about the progress of your training contract application”. It is just a feeling and maybe a lot of people contacted the team..but not me because I know that they are notoriously slow. But all good..I have to take it like a big person
My Freshfields app was sent in early june. When I logged in today on the portal, it said "Updated July 5". Is this meant to mean anything or is it a glitch? I did update my work exp and achivements/scholarships part, but I'm pretty sure I edited it after July 5 also.
Has anyone heard anything about Linklaters post WG? and also, if people don't mind saying, how did they do on the WG assessment?
How do you find out your mark? I did one back in the September application period but could never see how I did in the WG.
Having had lovely emails from other firms, I too found it a little dismissive. But I am aware that covid-19 has put a lot of pressure on everyone at the moment. Best of luck!
Got invited to BM’s VI. This is my first time doing a VI, would appreciate any tips!
You had to email grad recruitment and ask for your scoresheet!
Apparently they sent out a broadcast email saying that they will hold AC's in September, but clearly a lot of us didn't receive that email. I got 32/40 which put me in the 70th percentile, but this was about 3 weeks before the deadline and so my percentile could have gone up or down depending on how candidates after me performed.

They are probably just trying to manage expectations. Sometimes you have to be blunt to actually be helpful to everyone.
Waiting for BCLP, White & Case, Latham & Watkins, Travers Smith, BLM and Addleshaw Goddard for 2022 TC application feedback. I have just graduated so feel a bit like a sitting duck at the moment, although I’m making the most of the virtual internships available. The waiting is the hardest part!
Hope everyone is well. Does anyone have any tips/advice for a telephone interview with Morgan Lewis? Any thought is much appreciated. Thank you
When did you apply and when did you hear back? Their deadline was just yesterday and I assumed they did not recruit on rolling basis. Thank you
I applied for BCLP’s TC in February, and White & Case at the beginning of this month
it’s actually quite comforting to know that we are all waiting together! Best of luck- Status
