Has anyone heard back from NRF?
Just got a response from Phillipa that a response email with an outcome for summer 2024 TCs will be out in the next 48 hours.
Not sure if that is a batch response for all candidates or if that will just be for non-shortlisted candidates.

I am not positive about it but the next cycle is less than a month away so let's be ready!
If you're comfortable disclosing, could I ask how long did it take to receive BCLP's PFO? I'm still waiting after completing the test on 15 June. Thanks!
I got turned down for them before the cycle even closed
PFO post AC. This marks 3 cycles empty handed. I felt incredibly well prepared for the interview, the partner seemed impressed with my in-depth answers and insights into the firm and the firms culture. Not really sure what I did wrong or why I am unable to convert, so it’s a bit disheartening. Succeed or learn I suppose. I shall receive feedback from GR and go again next year.
SH critical reasoning test is a Watson Glaser test! Just do some practice rounds - Clifford Chance have a free WG test on their website that was helpful
Has anyone heard from Addleshaw Goddard at all? Submitted an app in early June but still haven’t heard so wondering if it’s a PFO
Sometimes it isn't anything you did wrong. The competition might just be that good. Either way, take what you can in terms of feedback and come back stronger. Don't be disheartened and never compare your journey to anyone else's because you simply won't be able to make sense of it. Your time will come. I've been through about 3-4 cycles myself.
I had similar feedback on an AC and also failed that same AC despite seemingly doing everything right. That just tells me that the other competitors did it better and is motivation for me to improve myself and make myself as reject-proof as possible.
Good luck!
Rejected post TC interview
The firm provided a generic response saying they have too many applications to provide feedback following interviews.
Would it be improper to message my interviewer on LinkedIn and ask for advice on how to improve? As really unsure on where I went wrong here.

a little surprised by this - i thought firms always gave feedback to applicants who made it to interview/AC. if you don’t mind me asking, what firm is this?
Harbottle & Lewis!
I didn't expect it either, the email I received stated:
Unfortunately having given considerable thought to your application we are unable to progress your application to the next stage. The number of applications was particularly high and it has been a very difficult decision to make.
I regret that we are unable to give feedback owing to the large volume of applications that we deal with at this time.
Thanks for sharing - seems like non-rolling firms do view applications periodically then rather than all at the end...
