    First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

    Hey, I haven’t heard back from Hogan Lovells post-WG either. None of my friends have heard. I’ve not heard back from Freshfields post app and think this will be a rejection as the scheme is only two weeks away. Has anyone been rejected by Freshfields yet?
