How long does it take to hear back from Freshfields post-WG? I did mine on the 8th of August and have not had a response

Folks above saying 2-4 days. Seems a lot of people did them this week so lead time may vary

 

[Rob93]

rejections are just redirections! or at least that’s what my inner wine mum is telling me.

also AG PFO

Wine mum is always right

Fair enough, thank you! Fingers shall remain crossed then

for 'tell me a time that you have failed' would it be okay to talk about failing to convert a VS to a TC or is that just opening a can of worms I probably do not want to open? Also, should this be more of a personal failure than a professional failure?

Has anyone heard back from Boodle/still waiting on Harbottle??

Imo if you can show i) that you have reflected on and understood the root of the failure and ii) have taken some productive learning away from that experience, anything is fair game.

That said, it is an answer that they will hear fairly often and I'm not sure that 'failure' to convert is always really a 'failure' - imo if a candidate and a firm aren't right for each other the candidate didn't fail, they dodged a bullet.

Just heard from Weil. Haven't even gotten a WG invite yet but their latest email said "We are currently in the process of reviewing applications and will be in contact soon." Not a PFO so that's a plus lol

 

[law2022x]

Also got the same Weil email.

Had those that were rejected completed the WG?
