Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

I didn't? When did you submit your app and interactive assessment?

Weird. I submitted last Thursday (21/9)

I was so nervous when I got the email. I really thought "Damn, my application sucked so much they're rejecting me in less than 5 days!" when I saw I had an email from them.

I'm hoping it means I will hear back before 9/10 but honestly idk

Here is what it says, and it's a do not reply email btw:

Dear "Me" (Obvs not putting my gov name),

Thank you for taking the time to apply and complete the interactive assessment. We hope that it has given you an insight into the working environment and types of situations you may encounter as a trainee lawyer at Allen & Overy.

Our team is now reviewing your application and you should expect to hear an outcome from us as soon as possible.

I already received my confirmation and feedback report (it wasn't blank, I excelled in the numeracy and verbal and needed improvement in the other parts just like everyone else got) so idk why they sent this but guess who's going to be having restless nights until they get a response? 😭 😭 😭

Honestly I don’t think this is a bad sign at all. I’d sleep well knowing I got that and no one else did

Nope didn’t get this either. It does seem like a somewhat positive response though so hopefully all goes well 🤞🏽 I wouldn’t think too much into it at this stage. Best of luck to everyone

Thanks for being so supportive! This thread has been so helpful, it'd be so amazing if we all got TCs. I just hate waiting.

Is there anything specific people are doing to prepare for the interview?

Have they sent out AC invites yet?

 

[bella98]

Did anyone receive an email from Allen & Overy in the last hour saying that they are now reviewing your application and an outcome will come as soon as possible. The email subject is "Feedback and Next Steps".

Yes, I did!
I don’t know if this means we’ve “passed” the test so they review our application now. (Work experience section + video answers to the questions)

Yup, got that too. I wouldn't read too much into it..

Just received that email! They must be sending it out in batches.

Same!

Also got the email this afternoon

 

[FCL25]

Has anyone else received that email since last week? I’ve not heard anything yet but don’t want to speculate as to what that means…

Neither tbh

I got it at 7am on Saturday :s I wouldn't read too much into it, it's probably automatic and in batches

 

[Minitomatosalad]

I got the email last week too. we are meant to hear back by the end of this week right?

 

[The6FigureSuccessfulSolicitor]

Yeah they must be cause mine was on the 26/9 but I submitted my application on 21/9 and the test on 22/9 lmao

No, they said they would start responding from 9/10. I would expect to know before 30/10 if we are through to the next round/ rejected.

I'm trying not to panic about not receiving that email 😪

I put so much time and effort into the application, would be disappointed to be rejected so early on

I just received the email, so they're definitely still sending them out, most likely in batches - hopefully, you'll receive a response soon 😊

I received the e-mail this evening as well, just to further add to the notion that they are sending them out in batches. As long as your application was submitted and the interactive assessment completed, there's no reason to worry imo.
