2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[AW_08]

And my question is has anyone been rejected from them yet ?

I've seen a few people who had interviews in December/early Jan receive PFOs, but that's it!

when did you complete your video interview? had mine yesterday so wondering how long it might be before i'm likely to hear back! congrats on getting through to the AC!

Hey! On the 7th of Feb then heard on the 16th Thanks so much and best of luck

Hey guys how do you find out the vs - tc conversion rate for different firms?

for which firms?

And my question is has anyone been rejected from them yet ?

You can usually calculate it from chambers student by looking at your respective firm's vac scheme numbers and then TC offers p/a. Quite a lot of firms are like this - VS does certainly not mean a TC ahah.

Tbf it's not as simple as this though because VSers can be taken on for different intakes at the same time/app season but I guess it gives a rough idea

A friend of mine was on the Arnold and porter VS a few years back. I think she said there were 20 people there for only 2 open slots. She got one of them, but oh God the pressure.

They started ACs last week I believe. They've given out some PFOs too. I am also waiting to hear back, had my interview 22nd Jan.

Never said it was simple. You are never gonna know but its nice to know if you have a 80% chance compared to 20% chance - and its kept me focused on my other apps instead of getting into a slump.

I know how you feel. I’ve refreshed gmail so many times I feel like one of their servers somewhere must be smoking.
