Oh, so did I! I’ll try remain hopeful 🤞😅thank you! I did my test on the deadline day, at around 8am-ish
I guess we can rest assured that it’s not a definite PFO then. I assume that they would have just sent out the PFO emails this week if that was the caseFor anyone fretting, I emailed Freshfields querying when those who have taken WG tests, last week, will hear back. To which they have responded saying we will hear back with an update by the end of next week.
Apparently they did at least 3 batches last year so I would think soIs it likely that FF will send out any more WG invites?
I got the same, I thought it might be their way of saying they're still screening VIs in response to many people asking about the status of their application rather than a 'progress'. Not sure?just got an email from bristows post-vi saying they have progressed my app to a round of screening by partners to decide who gets picked for first round interview. not sure whether to take this as a mini win especially after a reed smith pfo earlier? kinda scary 👀
i remember from speaking to a trainee that it is actually the partners that watch the video interviews and then pick who they want to interview! but yeah im not sure if we like passed the grad rec screening first? hmmI got the same, I thought it might be their way of saying they're still screening VIs in response to many people asking about the status of their application rather than a 'progress'.

Yeah I got the same thing and at the IP workshop, they said they view video interviews in two stages, grad rec then partners so I guess we passed ?😭i remember from speaking to a trainee that it is actually the partners that watch the video interviews and then pick who they want to interview! but yeah im not sure if we like passed the grad rec screening first? hmm
PLEASE offer your tips on how you got to this stage. I will be applying for the summer scheme and anything will be helpful! My dream firm 😭Freshfields AC invite! Shocked and excited as it's my first AC as well!
Huge congrats! Been following you for a while hope this comes good for you!Freshfields AC invite. Shocked but also super excited. Praying more WG and AC invites go out to everyone!
I did the WG on Monday 29 Jan (the day it was sent).
Do you by any chance know if we are allowed to use bullet points? There wasn’t any guidance on thissame here!! i feel like i have to exclude things
Take it as a win, from what I understand youve passed the first stage of vi screening because I know people who didnt pass the screening were informed earlier last week.just got an email from bristows post-vi saying they have progressed my app to a round of screening by partners to decide who gets picked for first round interview. not sure whether to take this as a mini win especially after a reed smith pfo earlier? kinda scary 👀
I don’t think it has been cut off - sometimes they want to find out about your interest rather than how you think it aligns with the firm.Just working on my King & Spalding app, and question C asks to 'describe a current news story which is of interest to you and why'. Looks like the sentence has been cut off...does anyone know if we're supposed to relate this back to K&S?
