2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[John Travoni]

Anyone who applied to DWF access scheme have you heard back since sending in your cv?

I don’t think everyone was asked to send their CVs. I think only those were asked where they wanted more information from you as the applications themselves may not have been enough. I didn’t receive the CV email and if that was the case, I would have got the PFO

Has anyone received a confirmation email from Ropes & Gray? I accepted the AC invite a week ago and still haven't heard back so am unsure if I should email them

Hey, I received a confirmation email on Wednesday plus the invites for the two tests we have to do and instructions for the negotiation task- my AC is on the 9th March if that helps!

Does anyone have any advice at all for the Dechert VI? 😅 I have done a few VIs in the past and haven't managed to pass this stage! 😟

Email them again. I got a response to my email about 10mins after confirming.

Ok thanks, mine's on 11 March so I'm sure it'll come through at some point. I didn't wanna have to email them cos I don't wanna sound pushy and desperate lol

Is anyone still waiting to hear from Travers Smith and Freshfields (post-app) and also Taylor Wessing (post-tests)?

Ah ok because I had an email from them saying I have passed stage 2 and in order to be considered for the final stage they needed my cv. I think other people on the forum have had that email too. So I was wondering if AS have had the opportunity to decide who to invite and have they sent out invitations yet.

Oh my god, I got the Pinsent Masons vacation scheme! Literally read the email thinking it was a rejection.

Kennedy’s is *definitely* a PFO for me so if they don’t send it today I might offer to do the admin for it and send it to myself

I’m guessing Simmons and Simmons recruit on a rolling basis? I applied on the deadline then did the situational judgement test but haven’t heard anything since😭PFO I guess

Were you invited to the logical/verbal reasoning tests, written exercise and VI?
