linklaters' automated mail says they will respond to applications in January 2025. does anyone know if they have said otherwise elsewhere? also, has anyone heard back from goodwin post VI?

When did you get the Linklaters one?

Thanks for the update! If it makes you feel better, my point of improvement was personal responsibility. My best ones were growth, credible communicator, and resilience. I don’t think we can draw any conclusions until they give us a definite answer!

The email did make my heart rate go through the roof hahaha

Good luck to us! haha

Hi, I have received an AC invite for Trowers. I have applied for the TC and London office. I am looking for someone to prepare together for the AC. If someone is interested, please reach out.
Happy to prepare with someone who applied for VS and/or regional office.

Yes, me. I got "Collaboration" as an area for improvement.... Really hope it's not a big deal. My best ones were growth, communication and personal responsibility

Still nothing from Goodwin! Dare I say I'm (kind of) hopeful post VI too so I'm gagging to hear from them!

Weird I got the exact same ones as you! Confusing as I put emphasis on all the collab questions

 

[Monopolyman]

Does anyone know how long Freshfields usually takes to reply after SJTs or WGs?

 

[opticskibidi]

I got mine a few hours ago too My strengths were Growth, Collaboration and Resilience, and my point of improvement was Personal Responsibility too.

I got mine earlier today my strengths were Growth, Resilience and Judgement and my point of improvement was credible communicator.

Hey, I was thinking the same but then I received it around 11pm last night. I completed the assessment around the same time the night before so I’m assuming you have to allow 24 hours for the report to come through

 

[g.cl.2020344]

I did mine yesterday morning and only got the feedback this morning so a good 24 hours later

I saw someone say two years ago they called people by alphabetical order. Do u think they’re doing that this year as well?

I think I missed the deadline for my Freshfields SJT. Does anyone have any advice? It says 09:00 today and I did not realise it was only two days to complete it.
