Hi guys, I’ve just been asked to do a Stephenson Harwood online critical reasoning test. Does anyone know what this test is? Is it the WG or another random test?

If you are put on a waitlist for a firm’s VS - i.e told that they cannot offer me a place now but are looking at extending the firm’s vac scheme numbers and may be in touch with an offer later but the firm did not give a timeline, is it acceptable to give the firm 2 weeks before chasing up on the final outcome? @Jessica Booker I would appreciate any insight!

@Jessica Booker how long after a VS offer (and you accepting it) do GR tend to get back to you on confirmation of your scheme dates? Is it okay to ask to know sooner to book leave?

[legalCheek27]

I'd personally wait more than two weeks, unless the scheme is very soon.

Instead, I might email them and just ask when they expect to have a confirmation either way of their vac scheme numbers being increased or not so you can manage your expectations around when you will hear back.

Could really vary from firm to firm.

There is no harm in emailing them and asking when you will hear back with confirmed dates though and explain you are just trying to work out when you will hear back so you can plan time off from work.

TW Vac Scheme offer! I had my AC yesterday but wasn't expecting to hear back so quickly!

 

[WeRegretToInformYou]

does anybody know how long travers smith usuallytake to get back after the interview ?

NRF VS OFFER! Bit late to the party but I was on a flight. As someone who’s received over 20 rejections, I can tell you that you should ignore the people gawking about “omg just got my 5th vac scheme! So happy! Time to grind my next AC”.
Good for them but that’s not 99% of us, we only need 1! We are all going to make it!!!

Does anyone remember when the last Bakers AC is gonna be? I vaguely remember it's 25th but not sure

Me reading this after emailing Withers two days ago for an update and the firm replying “we have received loads of applications and have not sent out interview invites yet” 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Was yours a VS application? I applied for summer VS in January and had the interview on Monday if that helps! Hope you'll hear back good news soon!

I got a VS (yay!) and I sent them all the necessary documents (passport/offer letter etc.) last week on Friday, but they haven't acknowledged receipt or gotten in contact... Wondering if I should follow up? Thanks!!

No need to follow up - firms don't necessarily send acknowledgements for things like this.

I am sure they will be in contact if they need anything else from you.

Does anyone know if there are still VS deadlines open?
