Hey! When did you complete the VI? Is this for the spring or summer vacation scheme?
I completed my VI on 23/12 and only heard back from them on 27/01 - so way more than a month! I think in their case no news is good news, as they're still reviewing applications. Plus, I think their AC's run into March so you can still be invited to those dates if you haven't heard anything yet. (This is re the London office).
I mean, that would be great if so! Since I haven't even been invited to VI though I have a bad feeling about my case.
Re Addleshaw Goddard - I was successful last year, but went around two months without hearing anything after submitting my VI. I then checked my portal and the AC invite hadn't come through to my email, so do keep checking that. Don't lose hope just yet!
I remember they ran ACs late into Feb last year.

Thank you for sharing this Lauren!
Rejection from ashurst after revelian test
Sorry to hear that, Mark. Was that for direct TC or VS, if you don't mind my asking?
Not sure where the best place to put this is, but does anyone have any tips for how to structure a client/internal memo?
On my VS last year I was told that you don't need to present all the details but rather simply explain your point across. May be different for different firms/partners because I think a lot of it depends on the personal preference of who requested it!
I did one for a non-law grad scheme a few years ago (so things may be different)
1.Be friendly w/ all the other people who are going for schemes.
2. Don't take over and be controlling on any group exercise, but do be a little authoritative. Basically be balanced!
3. Try to keep calm if you have to do more testing because they really don't give you much time and if you struggle to finish don't worry and don't compare how much you got through with others
guys quick question: if during an AC u had to do a written exercise in a short amount of time, but u noticed afterward there were a few typos - how detrimental is that to ur outcome? sorry v specific question but im curious
ah ok so like give your version of it succinctly? is there any sort of formatting requirements that you may know of?
Congratulations!!!Secured a vacation scheme with Mishcon De Reya and just received an AC invite for Addleshaw Goddard's London office
Happy to answer any questions!
