Another email from GR at CC:

Hi (X),

Thank you for your email.

We are in the process of making outcome calls. We are hoping to deliver all outcomes today but this may go into next week due to the volume of calls we have to make. Calls are made in a random order.

*calls are being made in a “random order”

Haha, its really about being positive isn't it? Anyway, I think its best to simply wait for when the call comes: whatever the outcome.

I just saw I got a missed call from (i think) clifford chance. What shall i do? Shall i email them back or just wait?

This happened to me with DLA. I called the number and it took me to a switchboard where I got connected with grad rec.

Any updates on Freshfields post wg?

 

[Commerciallaw]

I called but it says the line is busy

 

[hopefullylaw2000]

Any updates on Freshfields post wg?

nope - was hoping for an update by this week! Do you think they will reject us soon if we don’t pass the WG or wait till the end?

 

[Commerciallaw]

This is soo painful - I cannot believe I missed the call. Now I am just waiting and I feel like someone is stabbing me in the stomach.

They'll be very much used to people missing calls. You can't reasonably be expected to monitor your phone 24/7 in the hope that they'll call you. I missed calls for a VS at three stages of the process for one firm and it didn't affect me at all.

Just keep trying to call back and then email as well if you can't get through.

Really hope you get good news!

I think someone else in this thread missed the call but still got the outcome, maybe check with them?

Hey congratulations on the offer. May I ask when you interviewed?

The wait is so frustrating. I thought they'd get back today since the AC is quite soon. Not sure how they'll reject tbh

Anyone still waiting to hear back from Freshfields post app? ✅ if yes

 

[bppgdlgrad]

I was wondering if anyone has heard back from Freshfields for the AC? Has anyone who's done the WG heard back yet? I guess we'll all be less stressed if it turns out that noone has been invited to the AC yet - as I believe is the case?

in the email they said they start in feb so presuming it will be at the end as normally get about 2 weeks notice i think? Not seen anyone get an AC post WG and not sure how many have actually been sent WG (can’t judge from just here) hopefully we will hear back by end of next week!

 

[hopefullylaw2000]

Also following on from freshfields - has anyone’s app been updated since being sent WG? (last updated on 24th)

No idea what’s going on! They said it’s in random order or could they be lying ?
