White & Case Applications 2020/21

Hi Dheepa

did you amend your app for your later application at all?

Hi, yup I did. I changed the cover letter and everything else pretty substantially and personally I did feel like it was overall a much stronger application. I'd recommend always changing your responses when re-applying!
 
It does seem like the people who applied earlier (e.g. in October when apps had just opened) are starting to hear back, especially for the spring scheme. Think there was a post on the Vac Scheme discussion forum which said they had heard back.
Yes, agreed! I know a few people who applied early/mid-October, which suggests that they review applications in a chronological order. This seems to align with the fact that they recruit on a rolling basis.
 
Are there any others that applied for the spring scheme mid-November and who have still not heard back? I saw that some who applied at the end of November and before heard back already. Not sure why I haven't heard back yet :(

I applied 1st Nov and I heard back yesterday so it might not be strictly chronological then? I think at this point, no point trying to figure out he system, just wait till you hear back as anxious as that can be! Best of luck with your app 💌🍀
