    Thanks :) I did mine in December and haven’t heard anything since and didn’t get that email either! Wondering whether to chase up as it’d be nice to know about the inevitable PFO

    To those who are still waiting post-app for Stephenson Harwood, I just had an interview and it seems like they're still going through applications so hopefully you'll hear back soon! :)

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I saw a few years ago somebody said it was roughly two weeks but I don't know how long it'll be this year! I'm sure it went better than you think - it's so easy to be critical and overthink everything you've said, especially when waiting and mulling it over!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    That's very true! I did my VI on the 23rd of December and have heard nothing yet (but expecting the PFO to arrive any second). It seems quite annoying that Simmons was still handing out VIs and their assessments until quite recently if they were already getting too full though, especially...

    Does anybody know roughly how long Osborne Clarke takes to provide an outcome following an AC? *edit: I also thought people who applied and didn't get to the AC this time round might be interested to know that graduate recruitment said they had 60% more applications this year compared to last!

    Hello, I was just wondering if there's a guide anywhere that outlines the key points that should be included in Case Study 2? :)

    How long is the virtual Open Day? Maybe if it is only a few hours you might be able to make up the hours that evening for your Easter scheme?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I had an email last week that said: "This year we received an unprecedented amount of applications. This means we’ll be reviewing applications for the London office until Easter, video interviews will take place in April and the assessment centre will be in May. We understand that you’re keen to...

    I'm a bit late to the party but I received an invitation last night for the Osborne Clarke AC! If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it :)

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I thought they were rolling but then they seem to still be handing out VIs and they haven't responded to many people post-VI (I did mine on the 23rd December for reference) so don't lose hope!!!!!

    I just received an invite for Stephenson Harwood's critical reasoning test. Is that similar to a Watson Glaser/SHL verbal reasoning?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Yeah I did mine on the 23rd December and am also still waiting! It seems like Simmons have still been handing out VIs quite recently too so we'll probably have to wait a bit longer
