Can you provide an insight on what types of questions they asked and how the ranking was set out? Do we have to type up the answers or record them

without being too cringe I just wanted to say to everyone to keep going and try your best to let go of self-doubt!! i got my first vs offer today and i remember leaving the interviews thinking i def didn't do enough at all to get it- ik it's a tough process but have faith and keep at it 
Hi, I received a AC invite from Bakers yesterday night for this Tuesday. It was really unexpected as my VI went terribly and it is so soon that I am really nervous. If anyone has any advice/ experience with Bakers please share message me!
I thought so too and had given up (my VI was awful and I recorded it end of December) but I just got an invite for the AC on Tuesday so maybe they are still holding them
Congratulations! I applied for the TC route! Starting in 2024, wbu?
just got an email saying it will now be by end of Friday!
Omg Lool yeah I got that email to lol - just get back to us already - it’s seriously not that deep for a Watson glaser 😂😂😂
Just did the half assessment day with Freshfields in Jan but they still haven't got back to me. They said it could take a couple weeks but now I am nervous.
I recently got a rejection from Hogan Lovells after taking part in their assessment centre so my confidence is pretty low now.

I’m sorry you feel like this! Firstly congratulations on getting to AC for two amazing firms ☺️
If you haven’t already, definitely ask HL for some feedback. It would be very useful for future ACs ☺️
re Freshfields, all you can do is wait really. I’ve been told that I’d hear back within a certain timeframe from firms, heard back after this specified timeframe and frequently still received positive news. Keep yourself focused on uni work/employment/other applications etc! I wish you the best of luck re hearing back from Freshfields with good news ☺️
Thanks, I feel my general interview ended a bit awkwardly with Freshfields though since I initially forgot to press end call and was still on for a few seconds longer than I needed to be. I feel the analytical and written assessment went well though so could offset this
Not many firms left to apply for now, once I got the AC invites it sort of paralysed my other applications and I was just focused on getting prepared. Obviously have to keep on track with uni work which thankfully hasn't been an issue for me.

If it was early or mid-January, I would contact them and ask when you should expect to hear back.

For london they said at the AC they are having 5 , the 4th is today
