Yeah same :/

I wouldnt assume this is bad news! I know other peoples have been updated at similar times and they have received PFOs. Maybe the update was just to say we passed WG then review? tbh I j wish they would respond quicker but ik its obvs not always possible. If they are gonna PFO me id rather have it now

Freshfields AC - does anyone have any advice on the interviews? This is my first proper AC so I'm quite nervous! Thanks!

(If helpful: took WG on Jan 7th)

I did my WG today. Do you have any idea about the latest AC date available?

I missed a call from london this morning and it won’t let me call back. I’m wondering if it’s Taylor Wessing or if I’m just getting my hopes up unnecessarily 😂

Congratulations to everyone who got Latham VI!! 🎉🎉

I wonder why they extended the deadline though, I am sure they have plenty of applicants … Expecting pfo🤣

It is kinda early they could be sending the invites in batches but i don’t know at this point.. It’s also strange that they have extended the vac scheme deadline to today

Will also put on the other thread, but has anyone else not yet heard back from Freshfields re the direct Training Contract application ... I applied on November 17th and haven't heard anything ... lost hope!

Totally agree. Hopefully it’s good news though!

Just did the Mills & Reeve Online test and the feedback report for the SJT part really isn't promising
I find these SJT questions really unpredictable

Does anyone knows how many questions Latham & Watkins VI consist of and what types of questions may come up?

did the vi for direct tc last year, it was 4 questions (my friend who did vs vi also said it was 4) and as long as u do the usual prep u'll be fine

Thank you for the reply. May I know how much time is given to prepare and answer per question ?
