Same. I found the logic test very easy last year but this could not identify the pattern on more than half of the questions.
This is an interesting question as there isn’t a right or wrong. For me, I’d say keep applying for as long as you personally feel like you are able and prepared to. If you really like a firm then I don’t think it’s ever worth giving up. I actually remember being at a CC open day and one trainee applied five years straight. It was something they were able to laugh about with grad rec but grad rec did make the point that it demonstrated that trainee’s commitment and desire for the firm and that it didn’t go unnoticed. I hope that helps you in some way but just see how you get on this year, fingers crossed you get good news! And, if you do apply next cycle, then just make the judgement call based on how you feel then
so sorry to hear of the rejection but I’m absolutely sure you’ll have something good coming just round the corner as you’re clearly putting in the work and effort!
Hi can I ask if this is for a direct TC? when did you applied and when were you offered the interview? Thanks!

Thanks Alice I might try for the 5th timetnext year if I need to then haha.
Hey guys!! just got an email from Freshfields to say I got a place on the grad workshop! So happy and hope you guys who applied heard back positively. Would be so nice to meet some of you there!
Hi, sorry I meant what stage of the application were you at?
My response times for 2020 application were as follows:
August 23rd: Submitted Application
September 4th: Invite to SJT
October 2nd: Invite to Assessment
October 31st: Assessment
November 14th: Offer
Same here, see you there!
Congratulations to you both, I've just been rejected from the workshop unfortunately - would have been nice to meet some of you in person!
Quite annoyed about the rejection because I've done work experience with the firm and met them at a few evening presentations, but I can imagine they probably received a lot of applications for the places available, with it being the only option for graduates other than direct TC!
Yes direct TC. I applied around 17th September and invited to interview around 7th October.
So sorry to hear this @Faye, i actually was not too hopeful as workshops and open days do tend to be more compeittive than VS and TC applications because there isn't the option to hold ACs etc. I am more than happy to do a write up of the day on here to help anyone who did not get a space so that hopefully your TC applications can be made with the knowledge and insight we manage to glean from their graduate recruitment and also any pertinent facts about the firm.

It would be so useful if you could do a writeup of the day on here, if you have time after the workshop! Thank you so much
absolutely! If I do not do so within a week please just remind me!!It would be so useful if you could do a writeup of the day on here, if you have time after the workshop! Thank you so much
