I haven't seen anything about summer schemes tho, most people seemed to have gotten vac scheme offers for spring as far as I saw here. Unless someone who's gotten a summer vs offer can shed some light on this.

So I got my feedback call from Osborne Clarke's commercial presentation and WG test which I didn't pass and they told me that they accept people from the 30th percentile upwards but a good score is in the 80-90+ range, is that the case for other firms too?

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

For people waiting to hear back from Mishcon, I got an email from them on 9th Feb after asking when I'd hear back post-VI and they said "We aim to contact all applicants for the 2023 Vacation Scheme in the next few weeks to confirm the outcome of their application." so best bet would just be wait :/

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

I heard about someone in my year that just got 3 VS offers from CMS, Ashurst and Linklaters. I'd probably be devastated if I hadn't found this forum but I'm so glad I can still maintain hope knowing lots of people are still waiting on a response.

So a bunch of people have been getting Osborne Clarke stage 2 AC, I did a commercial presentation for them a week and a bit ago; is this the same thing? Just making sure because I can't access their allhires page.

This is my first time applying to all these firms; do they invite people to AC in batches?

After the online test I imagine; people should be getting invites to the AC seeing how they told me they can't invite me to the AC.

I just want to bump this because I can't find anything in the forums other than Covington and Freshfields apparently having their AC last week and also to reply about VI. If its anything like the Mishcon one where you only get 60 seconds to prepare I'd recommend writing down any key words or...

Few Qs: 1. I haven't heard back from Covington & Burling, Freshfields, Ashurst and Mishcon at all. Is it safe to assume that I've been rejected from all three? I've completed a VI for Mishcon but I heard nothing from the other three and nothing on the application sites too after I sent in my...
