Interviewed on the same day with a firm for a TC. The interview went well, and the partners told me that at interview too.
People heard back with offers, but I've not heard yet. I assume this means a rejection?

Nope there are many reasons why they may not have got back to you, the partners may have not had a chance to discuss your performance because they've been incredibly busy working for one so try and keep positive! No news is good news
I got given the games based assessment very quickly (2-3 days after submitting app) but since then haven't heard anything. Submitted around the beginning of Dec but I know a couple of AC invites have been given out
I haven't received the games based assessment yet, quite concerned!
rejection from Taylor Wessing before even getting the games assessment really felt good about this app as well and spent so long on it

Is there any reassuring reason for those of us who applied earlier than those who have invites but didn’t get any reply?
Really wanted Skadden, thought I stood a good chance having done their open day, networked with their staff, and attending one of few uni they actually visit
Is anything truly going to be reassuring when you know you haven't heard back earlier than others? It can easily come down to the fact that applications have been put into batches for different people to screen and one screener has got back earlier than others. Some firms "rank" applications and then order applications by that ranking, and therefore yours could be "ranked" lower (but thats not really want you would want to hear).
Same, really shocked by this one. Most disheartening moment I’ve had.rejection from Taylor Wessing before even getting the games assessment
Sorry to hear that James, but can’t let it get in the way of your other apps! When did you apply and hear back? I haven’t yet heard anything post application
I went through the form on their website and got a reply less than 24 hours later!
Hoping to break my curse of always getting my rejections on a Thursday tomorrow
My personal rule: Never look at an app once submitted, as theres nothing you can do to change if there are errors/you dont like something. But say I got a telphone interview or VI afterwards then I know its probably alright to start using parts of that for another app!
Sorry to hear that. I am also still waiting for.rejection from Taylor Wessing before even getting the games assessment
I did the Dentons WG yesterday and got a rejection today:-( The feedback email was about I did not meet their benchmark (no further info on that benchmark level). I was also rejected to due to WG by Linklaters recently, too. So, I guess I am not apparently the person showing critical thinking skills to ace the WG type of tests despite being practising enough beforehand.
I'm sorry to hear it
I got the same rejection email from Dentons today too. So so disappointing, I really liked the firm.- Status
