2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

MB is tomorrow so don't think it will happen in time haha. Really could have done with no getting the rejection the night before lol.

Good luck tomorrow! We’re all rooting for you😊

Anyone else get an email saying Willkie would get back to you next week post-VI (took the VI few weeks back)?

 

[letsee]

Still waiting on Bristows post VI. On apply4law the application status says 'Reviewed' (might have done earlier as well but I only just noticed it). I'm assuming it's a rejection since my VI was barely intelligible, but just thought I'd post here for anyone also still waiting.

 

[FM302989]

Yes, I did

 

[Isaac]

For those waiting for news from Skadden AC - given the background check documents were due today, is it safe to assume it's a rejection if we didn't receive a call today?

My thoughts exactly but they tend to email past 8 sometimes so *fingers crossed*

usually they call if you’re offered a VS, but we’ll see!

Law firms who email in the evening scare me

I noticed mine changed too a few days ago. I guess that means it’s been seen by a partner. I’m expecting a rejection because of a couple of likely fatal errors in my app.

What I tell myself waiting for 10 firms to get back to me post app stage

 

[AW_08]

Is anyone waiting to hear back from Willkie? I applied on the 27th or 28th, and I've still not heard anything despite their 10-day window! Not sure if they have received a lot of applications before the deadline, and it's taking them a bit longer?

 

[Celestie]

Law firms seeing me get -4 on the WG

 

[collie_121]

Those who have used forage for an AC, were you able to view your schedule the night before? Or does this vary from firm to firm?

You know the feeling when you did a VI 1 month ago and it’s been radio silence since!

Heya I am! I applied on the 26th, and they said they’d get back within 10 working days which I think is end of day tomorrow

 

[manifestingaTC]

has anyone still not heard back from Mayer Brown post telephone interview ?

Hey just wondering, is it possible to find out the average billable hour count for a law firm? For example Latham has a target of 1,900 but thats very different to if the average is up around 2,200... Just want to make an informed decision of what firm I wanna train at

Not exactly what you're looking for but Legal Cheek have average arrival and leave time if that's of any use...https://www.legalcheek.com/the-firms-most-list/

Weil rejection after AC. Absolutely f **king gutted.

I am really sorry! I have been following you for a while and you work really hard. You got a VS go and get that TC mate. Chin up as the future looks bright for you!

If you check the Legal Cheek profile of the firm, it is usually mentioned there.
