2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Imababysolicitor]

Hi there - I interviewed at Winckworth about 3 weeks ago - the interview was really nice to be honest! The grad rec is super lovely. I found the interview was quite tailored to my application so not a lot of stuff that transfers but defo think about what draws you to the specific work the firm do and read up on their website - best of luck!

Hey! Congrats on getting through to interview! Can I ask when you applied and how long you had to wait to be invited to an interview?

 

[Samantha]

Anyone heard back from MAcfarlanes recently?

 

[1876922]

Anyone heard back from Bates Wells post interview?

Hey guys, am I missing something or did Debevoise extend their application deadline? I just checked the portal for updates and noticed that it now says:

Deadlines
	Open Day/Vacation scheme in 2021 with the view to secure a Training Contract in 2023:	14/02/2021

Was it not 3/01/2021 before?
On that note, has anyone heard back?

 

[Leen]

That's so strange - the deadline was definitely 3rd Jan cos I missed the deadline so you're right, they must have extended it!

Maybe you didn't miss it quite yet

 

[Beth P]

Is anyone still waiting on BCLP post-app and test? I submitted in November and haven't heard anything since

 

[Kablahc]

Anyone heard back from Bates Wells post interview?

Nope, in my interview last week they said that they didn't really know when we'll be contacted

 

[Callum Tanton-parham]

Has anyone been completely ghosted by RPC other than an update email?

Milbank did that as well, extending from 3rd to 8th of Jan - maybe they don’t have enough applicants?

Literally me! I've been ghosted by so many firms this year. Stop stringing me along and give me my PFO!!

Very weird as I also thought I'd missed the deadline on that but their website says applications are closed?!

 

[VivianeS]

PFO from Milbank

 

[Lawyer101]

Anyone heard back from B&B post-AC?

 

[Staples]

Anyone heard back from Bates Wells post interview?

I haven’t heard at all since I applied (applied close to the deadline though)

 

[Matt_96]

I can't even remember if I received an update email or not after passing their online test. But since summer VS ACs are already taking place, I'm now expecting a PFO.

Anyone heard back from V&E post VI?

 

[WannabeSolicitor24]

Anyone heard from Latham post-VI?

 

[MzM]

Anyone heard back from V&E post VI?

Nope, not sure how long they took last year? Think it was relatively fast though?

 

[pegasus98]

anyone heard back from Kirkland about post-AC interview?

I am sorry to hear that I know it must be frustrating. I know people have got rejections post-test and know some people waiting from November also and some received offers. I say be patient and know it must be really annoying and I think it will soon be positive. Also, I am still waiting after done my test.
