    Hi everyone (especially @Jessica Booker because your insight on this would be great)! For context, I’m currently a full time MA Law (Conversion) student and have a VS offer for the summer. However, I’m currently thinking of switching to the PDGL (rather than the MA) and doing it part time...

    I'm pretty sure SH don't have ACs this year for Vacation Schemes! They recruit for the VS from SJT/VIs and then you go through an AC during the VS for the training contract offer. If you apply for a direct TC though, you'll have an AC.

    Congrats!! Out of curiosity, did they call or email? I know they have called in the past but that was also when they had ACs

    Apparently SH are still reviewing apps/VIs for the spring scheme that starts in 2 weeks (so those that applied for summer I would not worry that they haven’t sent anything yet)

    At what point is everyone calling it a PFO for SH Spring scheme based on not hearing anything?

    Nothing yet! They didn’t get back by the deadline they said in a reply to my email a few weeks ago (that deadline was a week ago) and haven’t had a response to a follow up I sent yesterday yet. Somebody on a PM said they’d heard of some PFOs being sent already though I think but I haven’t seen...

    It’s good to hear that they are actually getting back to people though because I was debating when to call it a PFO without hearing back (bc I’ve seen they ghost people??)! Hopefully also a good sign! This is testing my memory…I think it was also why SH & why law, but I was asked about...

    I haven’t heard anything yet! Giving it until the end of this week to allow for delays and then I’m either gonna email again or assume PFO, depending on whether others have heard!

    Yes I already have. She said we would hear by end of last week and I haven't heard of anyone hearing yet. As per the most frequent advice I see for not hearing back on time on here, I plan on emailing again towards the end of this week if we don't hear anything to allow for delays :)

    The wait to hear from SH for Spring is literally killing me. I just want a decision so I know if I can go on holiday earlier or not at this point 🤣

    Has anyone heard of anyone hearing from SH today about the spring VS? Trying to figure out if it's me or if they just didn't stick to the timeline for some reason & it'll be next week now!

    The Student Lawyer is normally open to new writers! It's not a huge commitment (write as much or little as you want mostly) and it's certainly helped me with my writing

    All I want tomorrow, all I'm praying for, is something (anything) from SH given the scheme is due to start in 3 weeks 😭

    I can relate to this! I can only do one VS this summer for a few reasons and have recently accepted an offer at my top choice firm but it feels SO wrong withdrawing current applications/not pursuing next steps after all the effort put in and months of waiting for those next steps 😭 like you, I’m...
