@Jessica Booker how long after a VS offer (and you accepting it) do GR tend to get back to you on confirmation of your scheme dates? Is it okay to ask to know sooner to book leave?

I'd personally wait more than two weeks, unless the scheme is very soon.
Instead, I might email them and just ask when they expect to have a confirmation either way of their vac scheme numbers being increased or not so you can manage your expectations around when you will hear back.

Could really vary from firm to firm.
There is no harm in emailing them and asking when you will hear back with confirmed dates though and explain you are just trying to work out when you will hear back so you can plan time off from work.
TW Vac Scheme offer! I had my AC yesterday but wasn't expecting to hear back so quickly!
NRF VS OFFER! Bit late to the party but I was on a flight. As someone who’s received over 20 rejections, I can tell you that you should ignore the people gawking about “omg just got my 5th vac scheme! So happy! Time to grind my next AC”.
Good for them but that’s not 99% of us, we only need 1! We are all going to make it!!!

Was yours a VS application? I applied for summer VS in January and had the interview on Monday if that helps! Hope you'll hear back good news soon!
I got a VS (yay!) and I sent them all the necessary documents (passport/offer letter etc.) last week on Friday, but they haven't acknowledged receipt or gotten in contact... Wondering if I should follow up? Thanks!! 
Taylor Wessing Vac Scheme offer, literally started crying in the middle of Oxford Circus 😅😂

No need to follow up - firms don't necessarily send acknowledgements for things like this.I got a VS (yay!) and I sent them all the necessary documents (passport/offer letter etc.) last week on Friday, but they haven't acknowledged receipt or gotten in contact... Wondering if I should follow up? Thanks!!
I am sure they will be in contact if they need anything else from you.

Yes, you absolutely should. You don't need to include any explanation of the work you will do, just simply put 'to start in [month] 2022.
Yeah, it was a vacation scheme application! I am so confused honestly. Also, I applied in November so I am even more confused. But thank you for the kind words!
Wish you the best!
MdR case study invitation!!! Did video interview on 22/02, applied way back in September.

Randomly typed "law firm" into the GIF option on here....
Can't work out if they are serious GIFS from law firms or just there for GIF related laughs
