    Hi all,

    I still haven't heard back from Linklaters for their Summer Vacation Scheme. I know many have received ACs (and have completed them too), but Linklaters is the only firm that hasn't got back to me with an AC offer (or rejection).

    Anyone else in the same boat? Or has anyone been rejected yet?

    I'm sure I've been rejected, but a little hope would be nice haha.

    Thanks.

    Same situation here, no PFO or AC invite. I applied in September.

    Same as well, also thinking I must've been rejected but it'd be nice if they could say.
     
    Hiya! I made it to the next stage of the Linklaters pathfinders program and I got my email last week Tuesday but some of my friends who also applied haven’t heard back. I also applied for the CMS insight program but haven’t heard back after the Watson glaser stage. I think some law firms don’t send any follow up emails with a decision as a way of rejection. Either way it’s quite unprofessional not to let applicants know if they’ve not progressed.

    Yeah it is a shame. But from my experience of applying to vac schemes, most are good at getting back to you. You do get the odd few. I just progressed to CMS's video interview stage for their Insight Programme, so they did get back to me on that at least, but Linklaters finally gave me a PFO for their vac scheme. Took their time but by that point I already knew haha. Best of luck.
