I cannot believe I am making this announcement, but after three years of applying for vacation schemes and training contracts, I was offered a place on Osborne Clarke’s Summer Vacation Scheme!

To say I am absolutely over the moon is an understatement. I enjoyed every part of the process and I can’t wait to join the scheme in the summer! Thank you to those on this forum who have supported me through this demoralising process, you really have all been so amazing

Girl I am so happy for you!!!! I just knew you were going to get it. Well deserved and congratulations

received an offer from forsters yesterday and rejection from addleshaw post-AC. unfortunately the forsters AC dates conflicts with my recently released exam schedule, any advice on managing this?

I could take the Forsters VS off your hands if that would help…

Yous have seen the highs and lows so I thought I would post about this too. Thanks to everyone on the forum for all the advice and guidance!​

Quick question and would love some input. I have received a summer vacation scheme offer from my dream firm. I also have a spring scheme secured. However, I have an AC on Tuesday with Ropes & Gray for their summer scheme. Is it worth doing the AC or should I cancel despite the very short notice (I received the offer from my dream firm today)?

Hmm still no sign of life from FF or Sidley. We’re at days 65 and 64 respectively here lmao. Probs gna be waiting till the next leap year at this rate.

I think it depends on whether you can do both scheme.
If the dates enable you to do so and you want to go, do that AC!
If you can't do the VS dates because they are the same as your scheme it is worth cancelling as they likely have a reserve waitlist and could invite someone else (not fully sure for Ropes but I think they have one)

Congratulations on both schemes !!
