    Dechert - Summer Vacation Scheme 2024

    Hi all, I'm just commenting because I feel like I completely flopped at the video interview, and I was hoping to find out how others found it. I'm not sure whether we all have the same questions, but I found mine incredibly difficult, and they were things I couldn't have pre-empted...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Anyone else find the Mayer Brown verbal reasoning/ situational judgement tests quite hard? I feel like they tested just about every aspect of VR possible 😂 The time pressure doesn't help either

    Kirkland & Ellis November Open Day 2023

    Hi all, Given it's been nearly a week since Kirkland's Open Day applications closed, has anyone received a response? I thought it was worth setting up a thread to discuss the application process & OD in general, when it rolls around.

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    Likewise. But at an Early Careers Q&A I attended, the recruiter said not to be disheartened by the feedback report as everyone's at stage one in their career, and it's not necessarily indicative of bad performance. So I wouldn't put too much weight on speculating about SJT reports/performance

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    I wouldn't imagine so, given they were only supposed to start progressing people on 9th October 3 days has felt like 3 weeks, I've been checking my email about 20 times a day in anticipation lol

    I received mine in early October, but also submitted my application an hour or two before the deadline.

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    Yay! Mine just arrived at 12:32. Strange that they're being sent across such a wide time-frame. Do you think it's random, or when our application is being processed/looked at?

    I'm trying not to panic about not receiving that email 😪 I put so much time and effort into the application, would be disappointed to be rejected so early on

    Latham & Wakins Open Day 2023-4

    I just got my Feedback Report through- it seems a lot more positive than the A&O report i.e. plenty of strengths and only one area to work on, unlike A&O where every area needed improvement 😂 I'm hoping this means my application form will be reviewed I like that firms are offering tailored...

    I'm really sorry to hear that! Hopefully, having gone through the motions once, you'll be way more prepared than most for the Vacation Scheme process
