    I've done this in applications successfully - as with most things, the question is what it says on the tin. What is *your* proudest achievement? If that's coming through a particular stage in your life that was difficult, then of course it's fine. :)

    I've heard that Kirkland now primarily recruits from its direct TC route - is this true?

    This app cycle, I applied for an open day at HSF and was rejected. I decided to apply for their WVS anyway and made it to the AC stage. I wouldn't rule out a VS place just because you were rejected for the open day!

    I was initially rejected for Linklaters' WVS, but received an email on Friday saying that, because I had a strong application, they wondered whether I would be happy to be reconsidered for their Spring or Summer VSs. Did anyone else get this?

    Agreed - no merch! I am, however, quite glad to not have to travel!

    I also got an invite to their open day, but yesterday. For me the email said that there is potential for rail disruption so they'll keep under consideration whether to hold the day online. I received an email today saying they've moved it online. They're not lying to you, and congrats! :)

    Applied for Linklaters WVS at the end of Sept. Should I assume PFO?

    That would make some sense! If GR is waiting for feedback though, and others on the AC have been rejected or accepted shortly after, how will the person providing the feedback one week later for one candidate (with presumably a less fresh memory of the interview) be fair?

    Has anyone heard back from Hogan Lovells post WG? I thought they were rolling, and I applied quite early on in their application window.

    I see - I'm not disputing that might be the case, but it seems odd to say the least. @Quistclosetrust also mentioned they were sending out offers next to him, but my understanding is that they call people who've been successful.

    Interesting... then why have there been reported a tonne of ACs but zero saying they've received an offer yet?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I see - really sorry to hear that. I am wondering whether they inform unsuccessful candidates earlier than successful ones; I've spoken to numerous people and those who have been rejected were rejected quite soon after the AC, whereas those successful took a bit longer (after ACs had stopped...
