Did anyone else get an error email from V&E telling them they were rejected for a TC application?

I applied for their Summer Vacation Scheme in January and I was rejected at video interview stage- I didn't apply for a direct TC because you obviously have to wait until the next cycle. I just got an email telling me that my training contract application (which I never made) was rejected.

Curious!

Also curious if anyone has heard back from A&O for a vac scheme yet, after passing SJT?

 

[Aish]

Anyone heard back from Macfarlanes?

I also received the rejection email in error too. I was rejected after interview in March this year. We must still be on their system!

I know a few firms take applications that are rejected for VSs and re-review them as if they're direct TC applications just in case. So that might be why? I had this with Stephenson Harwood in a previous application cycle and I'm fairly sure Farrer do it too.

Thank you, anyone know if this is V&E's policy as well?

I haven’t yet but I have a feeling they’ll take a while because they were so early to open applications.

I'm sorry. Was this for direct TC? When did you apply?

Was for direct and very close to the deadline, might have even been deadline day!
