So Freshfields have started their summer ACs already? 😥

Still early days so I'd try not to worry if you can! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hi guys

Quick question:

Does Frehfield send you the results for the WG test after you do it or do you have to request it from them?

If anyone knows, that would be much appreciated!

Any idea how long Hogan Lovells takes to get back to candidates post WG completion? Any experience would be helpful, to ascertain timeline

They will have to see the best part of 60 candidates. It used to take them the best part of a month and a bit to get through all of them.

I don’t know the specifics, but I doubt there is a set time.

For Freshfields if the portal still says updated 16th July does that mean they haven't got to my application yet? Does anyone else app still say that?

Have to ask again because its been radio silence so far.

Anyone heard back for Wedlake bell or Bevan Brittan direct tc application?

Hey- yes just ask GR for your WG percentile and they'll give it to you!

Good luck

Has anyone heard back from norton rose? applied about a month ago but no news.... Have been rejected already from 6 out of 12 of the TC applications I made. Feeling hopeless. In all my tc/vac scheme/first year scheme applications I've only ever made it to the next stage once. While my TC applications this summer have been soooo much better than the applications I used to submit in the past I'm getting really worried that I am not going to get a training contract. I just completed second year of my LLB at LSE and my average is 63... is that a score thats low enough for an automatic rejection?

Absolutely nothing from Bevan Brittan Didn't apply to Wedlake Bell.

Just received an invite for Freshfields WG, however they've given me a deadline of this Friday @5pm. @Jessica Booker do you think I would be able to request an extension? I work full time, and I feel like this is not much notice...

 

[hopefullawyer101]

Anyone who has requested their Freshfields WG benchmark result, would you share what you achieved?

 

[Legalmel_99]

PFO AG just got mine this morning

I asked for an extension. They’re chilled about it.
