2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Asil Ahmad]

Just intrigued to know how many others here have secured 0 vac schemes this cycle

0 offers but waiting for Travers Smith I put them down as a rejection on my spreadsheet already as it is Travers Smith.

Bit of a rogue one but would anyone be willing to let me read their successful Withers or Farrers application? Really like the firms so just want to check whether I'm on the right track...

Would happily share any of my successful applications and/or proofread one of your apps in return! Please message me if you'd be willing to share

Brown Rudnick PFO. That was my strongest app so far so not holding out hope for the rest now

1 VI in the whole cycle.

 

[LegalLordLox]

I have only got through to one VI this year and turned down one VS last year due to having to leave my current role, to go from part time to full time study intensity for a potential conversion of a TC...

Think I made the right choice...

Hey - does anyone know how long law firms typically give for you to accept a VS offer?

Usually 2 weeks or so. They will want to know fairly soon in case they can offer other people.

Congrats! Which office was this for, if you don’t mind me asking?

Should I assume a Travers Smith PFO if I've still not heard anything back from them post-app at this point?

 

[ofm]

Has anyone heard from BDB Pitmans or Gibson Dunn post-app? Did they lose my app lol?

I'm still waiting for Gibson-Dunn post app too!

 

[MBishop]

Hey, is anyone else waiting to hear back from Dechert? Thanks

I'm still waiting to hear back post-app!

 

[pe17797]

Anyone heard back from Taylor Wessing post AC? I completed mine a couple of weeks ago and I still have not heard back. I know there have been some offers kicking about.

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

This app season has actually been so so SO atrocious ??? Anyone else feel the same way?

 

[aspiringlawyer22]

Day 178383 of refreshing my email to see if I’ve heard back from W&C

Thanks! and the London office

I think I missed a call from grad rec - should I call back or just wait?

 

[CareerChanger]

Thanks! and the London office

so this is when I have to start hoping they didn’t send the invites out all in one go

I don’t see the problem with returning a call if you *know* it was them. But if you aren’t sure then it would be weird to call and be all “I think you called” just for them to be like “no hun”.
