Has anyone heard from Fried Frank after completing the Watson Glaser?

Hello, just wondering whether their Watson Glaser test is automatic or selective.

This is what I'm thinking too lol so many firms where people seem to have only been rejected and so many who said they'd open and haven't so doesn't seem far fetched

Hey all - my weekly check-in. Hope your app cycle is going well ... Mine has been a mix of 😭🙃 😠😣😥(iykyk).
I wish I had applied to more firms earlier in the cycle but at the same time don't think my mental health could take any more rejections.

Honestly, I am slowly beginning to think that a lot of firms don't actually have TCs available and might just be opening apps for the sake of it (this is just my opinion but would love to hear anyone's opinion on this?)

Anyway hope we all hear good news in the upcoming weeks ...

Was Fried Frank deadline rolling

No. They began responding after the deadline (31/06).

Hi @Jessica Booker, I am answering this question "Please use this section to tell us anything else that you feel would support your application. Examples can include, but are not limited to, key achievements, successes, non-academic interests, your skills etc. "

May I ask you if I need to provide specific examples where I demonstrated key skills? Or should I write about interests, achievements and the skills I demonstrated?

Thank you in advance/

It really depends on what you are putting in this question, but if you are claiming a skill I would always evidence it rather than just claiming it. Try to be specific in how you have developed the skill too.

Hi @Jessica Booker ! Maybe this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I wanted to apply to the Freshfields TC, but I applied in the past, got through the application stage, and failed at the WG. I was wondering if it was worth applying again as I have been able to practice the WG?

I was also wondering if I need to change my application or if I can keep it the same. I was thinking of adding something in the cover letter to explain why I am applying again even after failing the WG.

I would love your thoughts on this! Any tips to pass the WG would also be appreciated. Thank you so much )

How long has it been since your last application?
