    Honestly as they are manually calling people it may just take some time! I have my fingers crossed for you!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Heya, so I can't speak for American firms as I am yet to do my VS but last year I found that in a TC interview they expect you to be more introspective/ reflective- they normally ask you about your experience on the VS/ what you enjoyed/ what you learned/ what you took away from it. I also got...

    Firstly, congratulations you should feel really proud of yourself! I think if you want to roughly work out conversion rates I would suggest looking up both on chambers student, the website has number of VS and TCs per year so you can roughly calculate the conversion rate!

    I actually think the opposite- it shows you're a desirable and competitive candidate who has already succeeded in another firm's rigorous app process! So I wouldn't say it's a problem at all!

    I personally prioritised seats I wanted to learn more about and had the least experience of e.g. private equity because it's a core practice for the firm that my VS is at and likely will be the case that I will do a lot of work linked to PE and I also haven't experienced any PE work before. I...

    I had mine yesterday, I personally felt I couldn't have really prepped for it! The interview is strength and career based so the questions can be a bit out there but the partners were so nice about repeating questions so don't be afraid to ask! Just also make sure you've researched the firm...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Some firms let the successful candidates know first so that if they reject they can offer places to other candidates they may have liked (this is what happened at a smaller firm I did a VS with)- I imagine they also will look at direct TC apps to fill any places they still have if there aren't...

    Okay, thank you! I only received my invitation to the AC on Friday so I wanted to give them a day but if other people have heard back with a confirmation of their place I probably should email!

    Right I haven't received any email confirmation- only the initial invite (which I replied to), if you don't mind me asking did you receive confirmation today? I'm wondering if it's worth calling now?

    Hey guys, has anyone who was invited to a Ropes & Gray AC received a confirmation email following confirming their attendance at the AC?

    Is this because you haven't heard back for a while or because you want feedback?
