    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

    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...

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

    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?

    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.

    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...

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

    Thank you! As a follow up question, I have a scheme running for 3 weeks. I confirmed the dates & everything but looking at my personal plans, it's very likely I would be unable to attend the last Friday in the last week of the 3-week scheme. I am not sure how to bring this up to GR (and not...

    Hypothetical question: In the fortunate situation that one gets offered several vacation scheme offers and it ends up that they overlap ( eg. one is 1 july - 20 July and the other one is 17 july - 30 july), is there any alternative or is the only solution available to do just one of them? Can...
