2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Matt_96]

I applied to London and I was offered an Assessment Centre which I participated in it yesterday!

Well there goes that theory then....lol

Is anyone still waiting for:
Weil post VI
Latham
Cleary
White & Case
Freshfields (direct TC)

Cooley

Feels like I'm going crazy waiting!

I'm waiting to hear back from 4 firms - I have seen both rejections and AC/VS offers for these firms so I don't really know what to make of it. Am I possibly still being considered and in the 'maybe' pile or do firms just wait to reject all the unwanted candidates at the end after ACs are done? Really not sure how to feel

 

[ar2r]

Anyone heard from Shearman for summer vac?

Do you reckon those of us who haven’t heard from the London office post application will receive a PFO then?

I'm still waiting to hear back from Cooley and Linklaters, the latter I did the test ages ago, so not too sure what to think now!

Same here, still haven’t heard anything from the London office. Honestly finding it so so bizarre because AC’s have been conducted already so it’s strange that there’s a bunch of us still waiting to hear back about initial applications.

I emailed Grad Rec on Friday just to check because I applied so so long ago now (November 26th) and they’ve not replied to me. Don’t know what to make of it all to be honest!

I'm sure there will be another round of VI invites/PFOs to come... but who knows when!! Please let me know if they get back to you

Off topic Q: Is the finimize premium subscription worth it? Finimize has not been that useful for me ever since they added paywalls for all their articles, but they're doing a 50% off promo which makes the outlay not too expensive for a student.

 

[Samantha]

Anyone heard from Shearman for summer vac?

I'm just waiting for my PFO

 

[Anya B]

When did you apply to Withers? Is that for direct/VS?

I applied mid-December for a VS!

Waiting for Freshfields and Linklaters.
My FF was updated a week ago today but haven’t heard anything from them. Hope we hear some good news soon. Fingers crossed

 

[cryingoverTCs]

AG sent out AC invites and the AC took place yesterday!

oh do you think that was the only AC? also, well done if you were on the AC!! Amazing!

You haven't heard anything since the application?

 

[Anya B]

I'm v nervous too! They're one of my faves - not really sure how the interview went! Best of luck to you with your app

Yeah I’d be interested to know that too, did they say if it was the only AC taking place?
