waiting too ): atp losing hope )):

same! hopefully we get a wg.
idk feeling very bummed out that my app wasn’t even good enough for the test stage.
but i’ve realised most often it’s just the mind playing tricks. maybe we are still in the running 🥹

I think looking back at other years, there are at least 3 batches for WG.

Freshfields did tell @zeyad214 that they will be sending them in the coming days till the end of the month, so I would not lose hope.

There were people in the summer who got the WG right at the end and got AC invites the day after they did the WG. It is all a process and I would say everyone who has not heard back is still in the running in my opinion. Things can change so quickly!

God bless you lol. Here I was sitting and thinking it’s the end.
Starting to wonder if they have even reviewed my app or they are yet to read it.

Anyone with an FF AC (from first batch of WG tests) - what date did you take/submit the test?

Did you receive a PFO from Freshfields? Post test or post app?

Yeah although, receiving post test is gonna hurt

Congratulations! When is your AC, if you don’t mind sharing?

Wednesday here too I think

My bet is in WG mark limbo. Probably just short of auto AC or something. Although that's pure speculation
