Congratulations! When did you hear back? I left my interview feeling a little uncertain as to my performance so expecting a PFO.

It feels like the firm did not offer more NQ positions for lack of revenue and work which is a shame for the trainees let go, but I am sure they all ended up in good firms regardless so there is nothing to worry about.
What was the point of doing the Freshfields WG if they were going to reject me after I got 99th percentile 💀💀💀 Feeling really dejected at this point tbh
congrats!! May i ask how long after your interview you heard back? I had my first interview yesterday and they said max 2 weeks so im not sure! Well done again!
Anyone heard back from Kennedys, Brown Rudnick or Hill Dickinson?
Does anyone know if your camera is on during the Freshfields Written Exercise? Need to know if I can do it in my pyjamas or not 😂
Honestly I’d do a SAR and find out, that’s ridiculous

Hi sorry just saw these. I applied 25th Jan interviewed 31st Jan heard back on the 19th Feb. Hope it goes well for you!!
Think it means subject access request but someone please correct me if im wrong
*Edited special to subject
They made sure to tell me that applications were considered "holistically" so my written app must have been pretty bad -- but why shortlist me for WG in the first place then lol??
I’d like to know how applications are shortlisted to the WG stage.
If applications are read and ‘approved,’ then what entails a rejection post-WG which scored in the 99th percentile.
@Jessica Booker Would you happen to have any insight, since you've had experience on the other end of this process (and specifically for Freshfields)?
It may not have been.
They may have had a benchmark score for written app of eg. 75 but someone who scored 90 and 90 scores higher than 99 and 75 for example. Or indeed this is where they decide someone scoring 99 from Oxbridge scores similarly to someone scoring 80 at a less competitive uni.
Requesting SARs of firms won't win you friends and won't change the outcome. Why put yourself in the position asking for a SAR and confirming to them they made the right choice not offering you a place. I despair of some of the suggestions in here.
It is simply a numbers game with them I suspect getting 4000 applicants or so.
