Does anyone know who we need to address the Vinson & Elkins cover letter to?

The training principal, Andrew Nealon. Hope that helps!

Sorry to hear about the Skadden PFOs, everyone! I'm yet to hear from them, hopefully I hear something soon

 

[stemlawgal]

Still waiting on HSF and Links summer vac (among many others) - since their deadlines were so early should I assume its a PFO?

 

[S87]

Thank you for the kind messages/reacts guys! Just goes to show it really is a numbers game haha

May I ask you how many applications did you make?

 

[AspiringTrainee]

Skadden PFO, seems like I am not the only one. Oh well, I am not surprised.

 

[Adrian_S]

I didn't apply to Skadden, but I'd actually be down for a PFO party.

Vac scheme offer holders completely barred from attending.

Hi! I have a question regarding the Osborne Clarke application form. The referee section has 3 subsections: academic referee, company/organisation referee, second company/organisation. They are all mandatory. I, for example, do not have a second company to write down as a referee. What should I write down on the mandatory fields for the second company? This is on apply4law btw.

I may be wrong but I dont think anyone has heard back from HSF about a Summer VS AC..

Seems to me that Linklaters have offered out AC's for spring. Summer (us) should hear soon hopefully. Presuming this is for London office?!

 

[layk]

Has anyone received WG for Freshfields after submitting application?

This just made my day thank you for this. I know why I got rejected but I don't want to say anything as it will turn into a debate it is the obvious reason I will just say that I knew I was going to get Skadden rejection.

It's for the Scottish offices

I'm thinking maybe an organisation where you have volunteered at might be appropriate? I'm unsure otherwise, sorry. Do you know if OC reach out to references before the next stage or only at the point of offer?
