Guys - did anyone else who completed the WG test for CC last year just get an email with a test link? It says in the initial submission we do not need to retake if it is within two years so think this might be an error but is anyone else in the same boat?

This happened to me last year; I just emailed grad rec explaining the situation and they sorted the rest out

you're a star John - thank you! Only one working day for them to do so before the test expires though (Sunday deadline) so hopefully they can sort it :/

I got an email saying I passed the Clifford Chance Watson Glaser last Thursday and have been told that my application is under review. Does anyone know how soon after the deadline the firm gets back to applicants during this review period??

Hi all,

Submitted my A&O Summer Vac app on Saturday (7 Dec) and completed the SJT on that day too. Received an email stating that I had passed the SJT. Unfortunately, I checked the portal today and saw that my application had been rejected. They didn't send me an email tho. :(

Oh well.. onwards and upwards for the next app!! :)

    The same thing happened to me and they sent the rejection email a few days later.

    Also a quick note to say I haven’t forgotten about my promise to write up Freshfields’ tips - will have them compiled and ready for you by Monday!!

    Have to say I was massively impressed with the workshop and the firm - would really encourage everybody to do some research into them if you’ve been thinking loosely about making an app!!

    No need to rush the Freshfields tips Alice, have a well-deserved rest over the weekend!
