Shearman & Sterling Winter Vacation Scheme
- Thread starter FutureCity
- Start date
Sorry to hear that. I can expect mine any minute then haha. Best of luck on your other applications!
I just got rejected from the Shearman and Sterling Winter VS because they are have "filled all their places", but they said they were impressed with my application and to apply to Spring/ Summer. Quite surprised to get this type of thing from a firm who said they were not recruiting on a rolling basis... I didn't think I needed to be quick so applied a week before the deadline. Anyone else a bit disappointed with this whole rolling/ not rolling confusion with this firm?
I received the same just now. The rolling/nonrolling element was confusing and I would have certainly applied for summer rather than winter had I known. Given this opportunity they have provided to reapply, I feel if you (and I hopefully) improve your application, then you will certainly be considered for summer/spring.
Slightly disappointed but it’s life.
Received the same email - applied on the deadline with the assumption that my application wouldn't be disadvantaged!
I wonder if they've allowed everyone to apply again?
That is the question. So far many have received a similar email so I wonder how they “strongly considered” all of us. I also applied on the deadline.
I also received a rejection but mine stated:
"We were impressed with your application and would encourage you to apply for a scheme in the next recruitment year (starting from September 2020) should you wish to consider us in the future."
Do you think that is generic? Why would they encourage me to apply for next year rather than spring/summer?

Not sure what stage you're at but maybe they encouraged finalists to apply to another one this year and others to next year or something? Otherwise seems really weird.
I've been told to apply for Spring/Summer this cycle and I'm a graduate if that helps
I don't think being a graduate does not affect their decision. I was told I can reapply in Spring/Summer and I am not a graduate.
Speculations don't account for anything and just stress us further.

After waiting a month, I'm pleased to say I've been offered a place But they offered me the spring one and I asked them why since I was one of the first ones they interviewed. They said that they want the schemes to be made of people with mix skills/background. I may be wrong, but based on my feedback, it seems like the standards might be slightly higher for the winter. I'd recommend applying for the spring/summer anyway if they've said so!
