Got a rejection today!

I know a few firms take applications that are rejected for VSs and re-review them as if they're direct TC applications just in case. So that might be why? I had this with Stephenson Harwood in a previous application cycle and I'm fairly sure Farrer do it too.

Thank you, anyone know if this is V&E's policy as well?

Also curious if anyone has heard back from A&O for a vac scheme yet, after passing SJT?

I haven’t yet but I have a feeling they’ll take a while because they were so early to open applications.

I'm sorry. Was this for direct TC? When did you apply?

Rejections from Peters & Peters and Orrick ages ago. I didn't apply to the others.

Oh dang do you think I should email them and ask for an update? I applied to Peters in April and Orrick in May and definitely haven't heard anything...

@Jessica Booker do you have any opinions on this?

Thanks!

I was accepted to the Orrick open day (due to take place in March but postponed) which involved a first stage TC assessment. I emailed grad rec last week about It and they said they plan to hold some form of assessment in September/October time. Not sure if this helpful but may explain the delay!

Just checked my emails. I applied on May 6th and heard back on July 7th for Peters & Peters and applied on October 11th and was rejected on February 25th for Orrick.
