It is impossible to say the likelihood of moving from the reserve list to the VS as there are so many variables however firms wouldn't have a reserve list if they didn't need them frequently! As we can see from previous posts in these forums it isn't unusual for people to have to drop out of a scheme for various reasons.I’ve been placed on a reserve list for a VS- does anyone have any experience of this/ know how likely it is that I’ll get a spot on the scheme? Mixed feelings as it’s not a yes but it’s also not a no!
SAME, the second question into the interview and I knew it was over for me omgPFO from SPB post-VI (I had already written it off so not at all surprised!)
sorry to ask but what firm is this? if it links then OH GOSHWould anyone be able to shed some light on the best way to follow up with grad rec on an initial application without sounding needy and desperate! Applied over 2 months ago and haven't heard back since submitting my app and have seen people already being offered ACs - just want to know now, regardless of the outcome...
If you don't mind me asking, is this for spring or summer?Hi! I had my interview last week and they told me that I should hear back by the end of February as they are still interviewing people. As they do not have a lot of places on their vac scheme, they are probably waiting for everyone to finish their interviews and then make the decision?
Spring!If you don't mind me asking, is this for spring or summer?
2 months is not unusual to have not heard anything after initial app!Would anyone be able to shed some light on the best way to follow up with grad rec on an initial application without sounding needy and desperate!

Omg same hahah, I was like well… there is my chance poof!SAME, the second question into the interview and I knew it was over for me omg
Wait a couple of more days and if still no response then perhaps ask whether the other law firm offering you could provide an extra week of thinking time. If they decline, accept the offer and then consider revoking your acceptance if Slaughters then offer you.I’ve been trying to get hold of Slaughter and May to get an early outcome of my interview as I’ve got another offer but I can’t get hold of them- the phone line just goes dead and the reception desk said they couldn’t help. I’ve only got 4 days to get a response before I need to respond to my other offer- does anyone have any advice?
