    Thanks for this. Are there any sort of general commercial awareness concepts that I'm likely to encounter? It seems like I'll have to be able to summarise whatever article I've been given to the interviewers.

    Anyone have any tips/advice for Freshfields' analytical interview specifically? It's one of the AC components and I know it's usually based on a FT or Economist article. Any further insight would be appreciated.

    I haven't heard from Orrick since I submitted the app way back. It was my first app this cycle. However, I know people have progressed to next steps for this firm. It's probably an auto PFO for me.

    I still haven't heard from Freshfields post-app tbh. I imagine it's a PFO but it hasn't been officially confirmed. My app was updated apparently on 28 July. Idk what that means.

    To avoid any doubt, email GR and explain this to them. I'm not sure if they save your selected options along the way. I read something to that effect, but I don't know if you need to press submit to actually register your answers.

    Feelings are temporary. If you miss out on the AC, you're gonna regret it. With such a short turnaround, I can understand it can be tough to process and you're maybe feeling defeated after putting forward your best effort. However, you have no choice but to put it behind you, learn how to...

    Sometimes it isn't anything you did wrong. The competition might just be that good. Either way, take what you can in terms of feedback and come back stronger. Don't be disheartened and never compare your journey to anyone else's because you simply won't be able to make sense of it. Your time...

    I emailed grad rec a few days ago and they confirmed that this is non-rolling. I imagine TCs would be different than it is for VSs, so it's surprising to see the grad brochure say otherwise. I cannot confirm it whether the WG is sent out automatically myself because I haven't completed the...

    If you applied for a direct TC, they are evaluating on a non-rolling basis, so you won't get any test invite until after 31 July.

    Does anyone know if the Latham behavioural assessment includes any Qs that you have to worry about getting right/wrong? Or is it all just a way to judge your personal strengths/weaknesses and preferences in work-type situations?

    Not gonna lie - I am just honest about where I fall on the scale whether it is a 60-40 deal or 90-10. However (and idk if this is right to do), I try to choose answers based on what values the firm want where appropriate. If the competency is not mentioned by the firm, I just choose whatever...
