You don't have to have done a VS to apply for a DTC. A lot of firms recognise that not everyone is able to complete a VS hence why they have the DTC route. You don't even need legal work experience to secure a DTC. DTCs can be more competitive though, as many firms often fill their training contracts with candidates from VS first.
is Links likely to send out more ACs for Spring, given that they have been hosting ACs since the beginning of Jan?

(my first AC so any advice would be greatly appreciated)

Has anyone heard back from Stephenson Harwood for vac scheme? Wondering if anyone can give insight as to their timeline last year/ when to hear back. It’s my final applications waiting to hear back from so my last shot at a scheme this cycle ahahah.
guys guys do firms call to give you good news or reject you with feedback post-AC? i received a missed call from grad rec earlier today and the voicemail said to email them, i emailed but still no call back. shall i try calling back tomorrow morning?
depends on the firm but i think 9 times out of 10 a call is good news!!! this exact situation happened to me and i ended up getting the vac scheme - best of luck
the wait is killing me lol i dunno if i'll even be able to sleep tonight ahh. @qwerty! did you call them back the next day? thank you both for the reassurance!depends on the firm but i think 9 times out of 10 a call is good news!!! this exact situation happened to me and i ended up getting the vac scheme - best of luck
they emailed me telling me they tried to call and it didn’t go through and asked whether i would be free to call ‘later this evening or tomorrow’ (it was like 6pm at this point). i emailed back immediately saying i can call now and they took an hour to respond back - felt like a lifetime of waiting hahah. if i were you i would email them back telling them the times you’re free to call tomorrow and wait by the phone until they do
it’s so nerve racking but i’m so sure it’ll be good news!
thank you, will follow your advice!they emailed me telling me they tried to call and it didn’t go through and asked whether i would be free to call ‘later this evening or tomorrow’ (it was like 6pm at this point). i emailed back immediately saying i can call now and they took an hour to respond back - felt like a lifetime of waiting hahah. if i were you i would email them back telling them the times you’re free to call tomorrow and wait by the phone until they do
