If you want to apply to the firm, and it’s the only reasonable route for you, I would apply no matter what the perceived odds are. They will want to find candidates like yourself via a direct TC route - if they didn’t, they wouldn’t open applications for the opportunity.Is it worth sending an application to white and case direct TC? I have heard that their direct route is pretty weak. I work full time as a legal counsel in the EU so a vacation scheme is out the question due to visa/time off.
Clifford Chance offers a free mock test. I did it multiple times until I got 100%, which helped me get into the mindset for WG (if that makes sense😂). The book Critical Thinking Tests is really helpful as well.Just got the invite to the GLS critical thinking test and by the looks of the email it’s a WG. I’ve not had much luck with the test in the past so any advice/ resources to help would be wonderful. Thank you.
I'm in the same boat as you. Pretty much assuming a PFO at this point unfortunately, but you never know I supposeHas anyone still not heard from Farrer post application? Is it a sure PFO now considering that they sent out proofreading tests and even some interview invites already?

I heard back today that I’ve been invited to first round interview. I know that last year they got back to everyone after this pointAnyone else heard from Farrer ? Almost definitely a rejection at this point, just want to know already.. hope they're not just planning on ghosting
Hi, I have also been invited to first round interview. Although I did apply last year and was unsuccessful after application but they did let all candidates know the outcome of their application.I'm in the same boat as you.

Just one question, here. Do you think direct TC applicants already start behind and have a great disadvantage as most firms have few spots that they can offer to direct TC applicants anyway? I think I know the answer to this question myself but I am really looking for a different perspective as I feel I'm working towards something which has low odds of success to begin with.

Yes. Once passing the WG they re-read your application again with your score and base AC invites on thatHi guys,
Is anyone able to tell me how does Freshfields recruitment process works? It seems that people get rejected after scoring a high percentile, is the application more important than the WG score?
Thank you so muchYes. Once passing the WG they re-read your application again with your score and base AC invites on that
