    Hi @Jacob Miller @Dheepa @Naomi U :) Thank you for all your insights so far! I received a call last Thursday offering me a vacation scheme with a law firm. I am now wondering if you would recommend asking for feedback following my Assessment Centre? So that they know, I am keen on taking on...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Yes, I emailed them asking for a status on my application, and that's what they told me. However, it is best to email them personally to receive an update on your application. :)

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Mine has not updated yet - does that mean that they have not looked at it yet? Bit odd if the theory is correct that they are reviewing applications from the latest submission to the earliest given that I applied a day before the deadline :(

    DLA Piper PFO :) To those still waiting, if your portal has updated and you cannot withdraw your application, it most likely means that you have received an email by DLA. There is an issue impacting the firm's emailing system, which is why candidates are not receiving the PFO emails.

    DLA Piper Application

    You are right, I emailed them on the 8th of January and they told me that they are still going through applications, is it too early to email again?

    DLA Piper Application

    I have the same issue, was updated multiple times, the last time on the 20th of Jan and now I can no longer withdraw my application. I suppose that not being able to withdraw the application means that we should have received a PFO? Can someone clarify this?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I know someone that applied on the 1st of Oct (the day they opened for applications) and heard back last week on Friday, so they are just starting to get back to people. So depending on when you applied - you will hear back sooner or later :)

    DLA Piper Application

    Me too! But I gave up on DLA tbh as it gives me a peace of mind. Also, it is already the end of Jan! I would be surprised if they continue their ACs into Feb

    It helped me to repeatedly tell myself that the firm already sees potential in me and that I will prove them right and smash it! It's really a mindset thing! Best of luck :)

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Does anyone know if Ashurst only looks at TC applications if they haven't filled up their spaces through the vac schemes? I am asking as I am currently debating if I should apply to the firm's summer vac scheme or direct TC. May be worth mentioning that I received an offer for a summer vac...
