2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[CA98]

Has anyone heard anything at all from Cleary?

I've been rejected and I know two people at uni who've got vac scheme places

Don't give up just yet! From the responses on the forum so far, some other people also haven't heard back at all yet and some people got PFOs already so just because you didn't hear back yet doesn't necessarily mean its bad news. Anyway Celestie said in her email from them they said they'd let everyone know Monday so they may not have responded to everyone yet.

A man can dream - unfortunately portal has just confirmed the PFO - best of luck with the AC though!

Those who have interview invites from Travers Smith, when did you apply? Wondering if they are reviewing applications in any particular order?

I applied close to deadline and still radio silence (not sure how many application stages there are) if that's any reassurance to you !

I still haven't heard from OC and am having to watch Ru Paul to stop me from constantly refreshing my emails/this website/the OC Portal. I think I would take a lipsync over this process right now!

UK hun ?x

And here we are, another Friday night with no news all week.

Ashurst AC invite!!! My first law AC - does anyone have any advice? (ps. applied 29th Jan)

 

[KS94]

Weekends have now become mental breaks where you're just glad to be away from constantly checking emails.

 

[VivianeS]

Anyone heard from Weil post-AC?

 

[Holly]

How long does BCLP take to get back to you post AC?

Last year they got back to me after a week. Not sure how helpful that is. Good luck!

 

[Asil Ahmad]

And here we are, another Friday night with no news all week.

I was just about to say that another week of no news those 5 firms that I am waiting for will I hear back before 2025.

I know there have been a few rejections but has anyone heard from Winston & Strawn with positive news yet?

 

[lawstudent2111]

Does anyone have any experience of the Clyde & Co AC? The email didn't give very much away so I'm not sure what to expect.

congrats! when did you apply?

 

[xht]

I never actually got an email from them post-app I had to check my portal. Maybe try log on via their website?

i've done that acc but also nothing rippp

 

[Soccerox73]

Anyone heard from Weil post-AC?

Nope, when did you do your AC?

 

[VivianeS]

Nope, when did you do your AC?

Beginning of February, what about you?

 

[Nathan Hayes]

Has anyone heard from OC Bristol office.

 

[xht]

Beginning of February, what about you?

[jan28]

Congrats! Looks like I’m sunk though, nothing on my end and they tend to send out emails all in one surely?

0/7 conversion rate on VIs across 3 cycles holy sh*t I am awful at them

Honestly, you are not the only one. I've only been successful in one VI until now, which I have to shamelessly admit was largely due to me knowing the questions beforehand.

PwC PFO post-VI! Never nice to get a rejection, but honestly feel so worn out after this week that I'm looking forward to a weekend away from application work.

Best of luck to those who made it to AC
