    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    They send you an email and you choose which date/time slot is best for you. I was surprised to see how long they give you! Options were like 19th, 24th, 25th Nov so they give you a while.

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I'm still waiting too! I'm so confused about the timescale of firms sifting through apps. The Farrer app was really long though so I guess they have a lot to read through!

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    One of my friends just got offered a TC after the vac scheme, literally 2 days ago. They're probably dishing out those first, waiting on acceptances, and then will see how many spaces are left for direct TC apps. Have faith!

    Thank you! Just emailed them now. I was only on the second question of the first test before I exited so I hope they'll see I wasn't restarting to get a new test.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker I had to exit out of a verbal reasoning test and start again because our house alarm went off (what are the chances). When I re-started the test, the passages were harder than the first test. I didn't even know you could re-start in the first place (it was a SHL test) -...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker , I've seen some people mentioning virtual ACs at firms whose TC deadline isn't up yet and are being reviewed on a non-rolling basis. Are these post vac scheme ACs in light of Covid? Or are they TC stream specific? Just a little confused. Thank you!

    Just completed the Bakers VI, the questions were all competency based and were actually so nice! Wasn't even asked why law why us. STAR will help you a lot. Have a bank of examples at the ready. Breathe, relax and put your notes on the split screen.

    Rejected from White&Case but through to VI for Bakers! First round of apps for me, it’s been a rollercoaster I applied for summer vacs for both at the beginning of December FYI.
