2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Andrew M]

Just received this from pinsent masons. I haven't done any tests or AC...
What do I do I'm v confused

Thank you for submitting an application for a Vacation Placement and participating in the subsequent assessment centre. We have now spent a considerable amount of time reviewing all the candidates and their skills and qualifications.

Whilst you have not made our initial shortlist, we were very impressed by your application and would like to hold you as a reserve in the event that a placement becomes available. If, for any reason, your circumstances change and you are no longer able to take up a placement this summer, please let us know.

Weird! I would reply and seek clarification...

Haven't heard back from AG post-VI but got an email today saying that they're now reviewing everyones and will be giving invites to the first London AC on 2nd Feb.

Think the deadline to do the PwC game was like today or yesterday or something so I'm sure we'll hear back in the coming weeks

Oh wow congrats on the VI!! Do you happen to know if they are holding any more?

Aw thank you !! I mean I have no clue but I'm sure they are. The email said they're yet to add more dates for AC's and I'm sure this will be for those they haven't replied to just yet. I have seen loads on here who haven't had a response yet for the London and other national offices

No news yet from:

• Gibson Dunn
• Covington
• Latham & Watkins
• Cooley
• Millbank
• Debevoise
• Vinson & Elkins

Who's with me?

Correct me if I am wrong but Cooley don't recruit on a rolling basis

[Kieran Tierney]

What was your deadline date (if you don’t mind me asking)? Think people get different ones

I just checked it was the 20th of January

 

[MzM]

anyone heard from Freshfields direct tc?

A bunch of us got a WG invite on the 21st to be completed by the end of the 24th. Don't think anyone has heard back yet.

Just got my first ever AC and it's with Bird & Bird I think I could cry 😭 😭 does anyone have any tips it would be much appreciated!!

Congratulations, that's amazing! I'm still yet to hear from Bird & Bird post VI for the summer scheme

I had mine on Friday so I think they are still conducting telephone interviews before giving out ACs

Is this for VS or TC? Do you think it's too late to apply for the VS?

 

[E.A]

TC. Not too late before it's actually too late (past deadline) in my opinion.

 

[Ricky]

If we don't hear this week then we will start hearing next week about Mayer Brown as the ACs are starting 2nd week of Feb.

 

[CMB]

Wow massive well done !!! When did you complete your VI?

Thanks so much! I completed it on Sunday

 

[Asmee DC]

Does anybody have tips for an Eversheds Sutherland VI and strengths based interviews in general?

Not sure if you have already completed the VI but feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to help!

Huge congratulations!!!

 

[relentlesspursuit]

Anyone heard back from Winston and Strawn?

The automated response said February so doubt we'll be hearing back before then

 

[Daniel Boden]

Well done!! Is this for spring or summer?

P.s judging by your profile name, I assume you support Arsenal meaning this AC must be the most success you’ve had all year

Honestly, I think just being an Arsenal fan is a good example to show for resilience in applications/interviews at this point...

 

[M0723]

Yes applied on the deadline and haven't heard yet...

Same here
