2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Andrew M]

I haven't heard of anyone receive a reply yet for Scotland. Where have you seen this?

I may be mistaken (perhaps conflated with another firm I'm waiting to hear on) but I could have sworn that I have seen people on here and TSR say that they've had VI invites for Scottish AG offices.

 

[Sekani Wraith]

Sorry to those who received rejections from Akin, but if it is any consolation, they offered quite a few vac schemes before Christmas. So they really are telling the truth in their email, your rejections aren't necessarily a reflection of your app, a bunch of us just applied early.

 

[Barnsworth]

Anyone heard about the mishcon case study recently?

I have my case study today! Wish me luck!

 

[Numerius Negidius]

Does anyone know how much prep time and answering time we get for LW VI?

 

[M777]

Anyone who has an AC with NRF tomorrow still waiting on the guide they said they’d send over at least 24 hours before?

yep

 

[LegalLordLox]

Well done guys on your AC’s!!! Also those who got VS offers!

 

[hz1997]

Just got the email!

Do you know if direct TC applicants have been invited for AC? I haven't heard back at all yet

 

[Cantab_95]

Mine was updated on 29 January - but still no email - I did phone HR up and they just said Covid has slowed the whole process down and so it might be a little while before we all hear back

 

[MS2000]

Congrats to all who have received AC invites for Mayer Brown! I submitted an extremely late application on the 30th Jan, can only assume it was too late?

 

[Fil]

Anyone know whether Shearman invites Spring applicants to interview first or do they do Summer&Spring interviews at the same time?

Mine still reads 'updated 7th Jan' - the date I submitted it. Unsure whether to read anything into that...

 

[Kablahc]

Anyone heard from summer scheme apps for Penningtons, Boodle Hatfield, Taylor Wessing, Irwin Mitchell, BCLP, Dechert??

 

[JayC]

Can CV-blind interviews hurt candidates from underprivileged backgrounds, because interviewers will not have the chance to put their performance into context?

 

[Cho]

Wonderful news and FAB job! Can I be that person and ask when you submitted your application lols, I am desperate to hear back from them and submitted mine in mid-late December

Hey! Thank you so much! I applied two days before the deadline, so Jan 9! I did my game-based assessment on the 21st I think? Best of luck !! I think they're still giving calls!
