2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Ricky]

Hey guys, I sent my Baker McKenzie app on the 30th Dec and still haven't heard back about the WG, is anyone else in the same position?

Sent mine 9 December.

BCLP sends out like 2 or 3 different generic feedback emails. Was this feedback given to you after asking or automatically?

This feedback was given to me automatically x

 

[Legally brown]

Really sorry to hear! How did you manage to get feedback on your written app?

I was given feedback in my rejection email.

Eek that doesn't sit well with me. I would prefer a generic one than saying there are faults where there aren't. It's clearly not fair tbh.

If in a TC interview, the partners joke that something you said "that's just got you a TC on its own"
and then at the end of the interview they say "good interview". Can I reasonably suppose that it went well?

No, it means you've obviously failed

In that case, don't take it as gospel. Feel free to send your app to me, I am happy to take a look.

Thank you I completed it on the 4th January.

I was given feedback in my rejection email.

In that case it would have been the generic feedback as I and @Ricky described so don't take it to heart! They're clearly missing out on a good candidate

Baker McKenzie AC invite as well!

Well, completed my Baker VI on 26 and still haven't received an AC invite for spring, so since people are receiving invites I'll take it as a PFO. That marks my 11th rejection this cycle, despite having an MC vac scheme, brand ambassador role, 2 first year schemes and a predicted first under my belt. I freaking hate this

Don't rule it out just yet! It took me 6 weeks after doing a VI with Weil before I got given the AC when others were doing ACs before me so try and stay positive if you can. No news is definitely still good news

 

[Sekani Wraith]

Bakers AC invite too! Congrats everyone!

 

[OB]

Has anyone else been ghosted by Stephenson Harwood for their Spring Vac? Applied in November and heard nothing since

This'll teach me to not be impatient, got a test invite just now

One thing I will always stand by, is the only thing you should take as a rejection, is a rejection.

Did they give you an option for which dates to do the AC?

 

[Celestie]

Everyone: getting amazing successes - congrats!!
GR to me:

Most of mine get back late Jan/early Feb woop
