2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

I never received this email at all. I think I may have applied sufficiently early that they didn't feel the need to send one.

Either way, I expect there will be some sort of Clifford Chance-style restriction or an online test from next year now lol.

What's the Clifford Chance-style restriction?

Sorry for sounding like a broken record. I secured a VS which clashes with White&C’s. I’ve been invited to WC’s AC and instead, I want to be considered for the TC stream.

Should I email them now asking to switch to the TC stream (pre-AC). Or should I email them after I (presumably) pass the AC and get the VS ?

Hey there! Heard back from grad rec yesterday, she said she's chatting to the Training Partner this week and we'd hear 'soon' - sorry that's not v specific but hope that helps

Thanks! Hoping that we hear back by the end of next week 🤞

Amazing!!!!!! When was your AC?

My AC was on the 9th but GR said they weren't letting people know in chronological order either way if that helps!

 

[GK8997]

Massive congrats!! I saw a missed call from grad rec and now they're not picking up hahah! Aggh have to wait til tomorrow to find out.

Do you reckon they're only calling those that passed or would they call everyone? I remember from the AC they said quite generally that they would call us in the week of the 22nd (so they're early), but it seemed like they would call everyone regardless of outcome and also to offer feedback.

Thank you!! So I have no idea if they call everyone but I do know that they said they're calling 10 people today so I'm really hoping it is positive for you! Keeping my fingers crossed (though I'm sure you don't need it!)

I would wait until you actually get the VS to be asked to switch to the TC stream just because there's no point in stressing yourself and worrying about this now before your AC! I'm sure you'll smash it and after they've seen your performance it'll probably be easier for you personally to also ask to be switched!

I would do it prior if you know you wouldn’t accept the VS with W&C over the other firm.

Yes .......Ropes V/S offer!!

haven’t heard from W&C at the application stage and people are getting VSs so I assume my pfo got lost ☹️ brutal cycle and I thought I would be a decent candidate but it appears I’m not!

Well done to everyone securing VSs! It’s nice to watch and be a part of people’s journeys on this forum☺️

 

[zigzag84]

Ropes VS offer!

Congratulations!! That’s amazing. I did an AC to and haven’t had a call. Did GR say how many people would get the scheme?

I'd chase W&C - you never know. Keep going, I'm sure you'll get there

They told us on AC there's 14 on each scheme.

And there was 20 odd people on my AC alone so competition is fairly high I think

Oh god! There was only 12 on mine. When did you have your AC?

Ah ok, thank you! I'm kicking myself now for missing that call!! But patience is a virtue...

They want people who have already graduated to go away

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Still nothing from V&E after interview

I was at an open day with them yesterday and they said they are aiming to get back to people in the next few days so good luck if you haven't heard already!!

 

[John Travoni]

Has anyone applied to Weightman’s TC 2022??
