As far as I’m aware, no. But maybe someone on the forum heard back with a wg invite after the first batch if I recollect correctly
Freshfields replied to my email today and said that they’ll provide an outcome to all candidates by the end of the week.
I don’t know what to make of it

The feeling of impending doom
Yeah looks like it won’t be good news tbh
Might not be or maybe.
Either ways it’s not a pfo until you get that email. Up until then everything is just speculation.
They did mention they will send more batches so let’s have hope.
VI invite from Addleshaw Goddard. I applied for the office of general counsel TC so take it with a pinch of salt!
Lol same. Genuinely didn’t think my app was so bad that it didn’t warrant an invite. But let’s have hope and if it’s a PFO we move 🤝🏻🫂
I changed one of my answers of the WG and I felt nervous while doing it. Detrimental move 😩 🫂🫂 but I’m really trying to stay positive. I’m so grateful for this forum. It helps me massively!
That is what this forum is for!
idk if anyone was in the same situation but figured i'd post this in case anyone was but i did my test for fieldfisher back in dec and haven't heard back (Direct TC london). i emailed asking if there's an update (i never do this tbh!) and they said i still have to do my test and so they sent me the link again which didn't work as ofc i had already done it back in december and just now i got the email saying they will review my app form and test scores.
if anyone was in the same boat as me (i.e. crickets since test a while ago) i'd recommend reaching out as i don't think they received my test back when i did it! a little frustrating as ik it was rolling so i made an effort to apply early so i suspect this will affect my chances of progressing oh well these things happen sometimes!

I did the same this morning - it’s been 14 days since I got the acknowledgment of my test scores so I emailed to ask what the status of direct TC applicants is as I understand the DAS program has already progressed to offers.idk if anyone was in the same situation but figured i'd post this in case anyone was but i did my test for fieldfisher back in dec and haven't heard back (Direct TC london). i emailed asking if there's an update (i never do this tbh!) and they said i still have to do my test and so they sent me the link again which didn't work as ofc i had already done it back in december and just now i got the email saying they will review my app form and test scores.

So this is my take on Freshfields
They said that they holistically look at both the candidates application and watson glaser performance, when deciding whether to progress them to an AC.
A batch of us received a WG invite on 29/01, a further batch of WG invites alongside AC invites were sent out last Friday (09/02).
GR said that people would find out the outcome by the end of the week. I don't necessarily think this means mass PFOs for those that have done WG, or for those that have not been invited to do WG yet. The firm is just filling spots with the top scoring as they go through (that's my bet anyway).
I suspect a couple more batches of WG invites will be sent out and more will be invited to AC. But, that's just my take/hope!

Does anyone know if RPC covers travel cost for attending insight events? I am looking to apply to the Bristol event
Hi All, does anyone have any experience with statements in support?
I'm working on a couple of applications - one wants: "Please write a short statement in support of your application.". The other asks for a "Personal Summary: use it to tell us a little more about yourself.". For both, there are no further questions; this statement/summary is the extent of the application.
I'm wondering if I should treat these as Cover Letters? Are they asking the same thing of me content wise?
Thank you!

Same! All hope is not lost everyone!
