Thank you Jessica! The other two firms do not offer spring schemes at all, is it worth asking them also if they would offer alternative dates? Thank you- vacschemesforeveryone

Hi all, I am in the fortunate but unlucky position of having 3 summer vac scheme offers and only being able to do 2 because of the dates overlapping. Therefore, I have to ask HSF if they'd let me do the spring scheme instead of the summer one and was wondering if anyone has had any experience...- vacschemesforeveryone

Could it be because of the high costs incurred to run the vac scheme in the first place?- vacschemesforeveryone

Just a random thought but, has anyone done the Travers Smith winter scheme and can confirm you literally get paid £750 for a week? More generally, does anyone have any thoughts on why the massive discrepancy between TS and the usual £450 that firms pay per week of vacation scheme?- vacschemesforeveryone

I did not get a feedback report at all. I heard back a couple days after the test saying I passed the benchmark and they are going to review my app.- vacschemesforeveryone

I would say just be honest. If you have an offer but you're still doing another interview, you must have a reason for that. Personally, I received an offer but am still doing interviews with other firms as they are more focused on the areas of law I am most interested in... If I will get asked...- vacschemesforeveryone

If you're successful in an AC interview is it still fair to ask for feedback? I am genuinely interested. Thank you- vacschemesforeveryone
