Still waiting

Yes you can! And both applications can be in the same app cycle - I applied for a spring VS was rejected but got invited to interview for a TC app I made later that year xx

Hi Dheepa

did you amend your app for your later application at all?

 

[Dheepa]

Hi Dheepa

did you amend your app for your later application at all?

Hi, yup I did. I changed the cover letter and everything else pretty substantially and personally I did feel like it was overall a much stronger application. I'd recommend always changing your responses when re-applying!

Sooo....anyone had some luck to hear back from them yet? Apparently they have finally started getting back to people.

 

[castrooo]

I am still waiting, but I only applied early November for the spring scheme! Hopefully, we hear back soon!

Really? For summer or spring?

As far as I know, they started to get back to those that applied to the spring scheme However, they do so in chronological order, so those that applied earliest will also hear back earlier than those that applied later

How do you know that they screen applications based on chronological order?

It does seem like the people who applied earlier (e.g. in October when apps had just opened) are starting to hear back, especially for the spring scheme. Think there was a post on the Vac Scheme discussion forum which said they had heard back.

Yes, agreed! I know a few people who applied early/mid-October, which suggests that they review applications in a chronological order. This seems to align with the fact that they recruit on a rolling basis.

Congratz!

If they only started replying now for spring vac schemes, then I wonder when they will reply for summer vs lol

Its so annoying. They say rolling basis - HOW IS IT ROLLING BASIS LOOOOOOOL. Only the winter scheme is.

 

[castrooo]

Are there any others that applied for the spring scheme mid-November and who have still not heard back? I saw that some who applied at the end of November and before heard back already. Not sure why I haven't heard back yet

 

[Aspiring.lawyer.to.be]

I applied 1st Nov and I heard back yesterday so it might not be strictly chronological then? I think at this point, no point trying to figure out he system, just wait till you hear back as anxious as that can be! Best of luck with your app 💌🍀
