Yes still waiting! Its likely we won't hear back until Jan. I've only seen 1 or 2 people on here get an AC invite for the direct TC too but others have been rejected so hopefully no news is a good sign atm!
How many have you seen that’s been rejected?

    Does Freshfields mind if you edit and resubmit your application? I found a wee typo again and I have an opportunity to fix it.

    I think @Jessica Booker often says that most successful trainee applications actually do have one typo or two and I'm not entirely sure it would be smart to flag up a potential typo to GR.

    Sorry to hear, hope you have more luck going forward! When did you submit app/pass the SJT?

    That's a whole other story. So I did the SJT on 18 December and pretty much got instant confirmation that I had passed.

    Then a day later got an email that I hadn't yet done the test and that if I don't complete it before the link expires, my application would not be considered.
    After trying to contact grad rec for two days, finally speaking to someone on the phone who wasn't very helpful, then sending 3 emails, I heard back that they had recieved my test.

    So I don't know!
