2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[gricole]

I got the same email. Considering I had a typo in the first line of my cover letter I thought It was quite nice lol

Haha. Well, it took me two application cycles to get to their open day. Maybe I'll need three more to get the vac scheme.

I put all my experience into willkie’s form in chronological order and going back to check the page everything has changed order - did anyone else have this issue? They don’t ask for chronological but I like to give it

I had the same issue, don't worry! It must be something to do with their application system. After all, it is their first time doing apps!

Anyone still waiting to hear back from Addleshaw (London) post-app? I know they sent out a bunch of VI invites last week

Yeah still waiting. Odd cause they’ve sent out both rejections and invites so not sure what’s going on

Is this a generic PFO email from Davis Polk?


"Dear xxx,

Thank you for your application for our summer vacation scheme. We have carefully reviewed your CV and although your credentials are impressive, we are unable to invite you to interview with our Firm.

We very much appreciate your interest in Davis Polk and we wish you success with your future endeavours."

Also their formatting was so weird - the font was changed twice.

Yeah they have been sending the same generic PFO for years.
