Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

Post-AC rejection just came through. Best of luck to the rest of you and I hope those of you on the VS have a lovely time!
Thank you so much for sharing, may I ask if you got the decision via an email or a phone call? I was told that they are going to schedule a call with me in the next two working days and I am nervously anticipating whether it would be good or bad news...
Good luck with all your other applications!!!

Thank you! I got it via email, I think they phone the successful candidates and email the unsuccessful ones.

Hi I just received this from A&O direct TC! I really don’t know what does it mean! Does it mean I pass the SJT or everyone had it? Thanks!

“Thank you for taking the time to apply and complete the interactive assessment. We hope that it has given you an insight into the working environment and types of situations you may encounter as a trainee lawyer at Allen & Overy.

Our team is now reviewing your application and you should expect to hear an outcome from us as soon as possible.”

I got that a month ago from A&O summer VS, still haven't heard back! Hopefully you have more luck than me

how did they tell you they were going to schedule a call? I'm also nervously waiting on post-AC results for the SVS
 
I'm considering the WVS finished last Friday and people have said they had ACs for direct TC tomorrow and Wednesday, so maybe we won't hear back until later this week, or perhaps even later if they want to consider direct TCs at the same time as SVS places
Some ppl have heard back for SVS so maybe we’re on the waitlist or smth
Generally thought we’re not in competition with direct tc applicants
