TC. I missed my SJT deadlineI am so sorry to hear this, truly. I wish you the best in your other applications!!! Hopefully good news comes your way soon
Without sounding insensitive lol I did want to ask if this was for the TC or the VS?
Freshfields TC rejection really threw me off today. I'm waiting on my last few apps so I've been reflecting on my cycle - my lack of progression is just astonishing. I'm pretty ashamed of myself. The likelihood of success for the remaining ones is pretty low - a couple of them were rolling deadlines which I applied for late.
I've learned a lot from this process but I worry that I've not learned enough. Working on building my commercial awareness for ACs that never come, improving on the Watson Glaser yet still getting rejected etc.
Just a journey of self-improvement, just need to remember there's light at the end of the tunnel, even if I can't see it...!

You have a positive attitude though. I have actually given up before. Took two years off applying once. I feel the same way, honestly. But Freshfields is just one firm. They just have too many steps. Other firms get by with fewer. Good luck with your other apps.
feel the same, I did quite well last cycle, and have gotten nowhere this time, I'm bascially going backwards despite getting better, its mentally draining, but time to docus on direct TC's and other jobs....
I assume the standard for Paul, Weiss SJT is going to be very high given the number of applicants, doubt I passed given my report, but was worth a shot I guess....
Rejection is redirection as they say. There are too few direct TCs. This is part of the issue.
Exactly almost as if it’s a disadvantage to be experienced
does anyone know what to make of sjts when u score lower on pillars? i excelled in both numerical and verbal but got 4447 for pillar so idk what to think of it? has anyone got similar results and still progressed?
Hi I've just messaged youJust received an NRF VI an hour ago, but the only available dates are tomorrow and the email says all interviews must happen before this Wednesday or your application is considered withdrawn?? Is this common practice lol
Also if anyone has insights that'd be great
covington pfo :< I'm actually so gutted about this one too cuz I had so much fun with the application questions
Same! I put so much thought into the questions.
I applied for a direct TC but have yet to hear back from them. Has anyone else who applied for a direct TC heard from Linklaters?
Oh my god I hate SJTs. High for numerical and verbal intellect but then 6146....
Is this for Paul, Weiss SJT or another firm? If it’s Paul, Weiss I think most of us have a mixed set of scores. 🥲
