This app cycle, I applied for an open day at HSF and was rejected. I decided to apply for their WVS anyway and made it to the AC stage.
I wouldn't rule out a VS place just because you were rejected for the open day!
I was initially rejected for Linklaters' WVS, but received an email on Friday saying that, because I had a strong application, they wondered whether I would be happy to be reconsidered for their Spring or Summer VSs.

I see - really sorry to hear that.
I am wondering whether they inform unsuccessful candidates earlier than successful ones; I've spoken to numerous people and those who have been rejected were rejected quite soon after the AC, whereas those successful took a bit longer (after ACs had stopped...
Congrats - when is your AC scheduled? I also did an AC with them recently, and am wondering how many they have / the final day for them running ACs.
Thanks!
If anyone could help with this, I'd be very grateful - if one SC firm recruits solely from its vacation scheme, and another has 50-100% from direct applications (and the rest through the vacation scheme), would my chances be higher of being offered a TC after a vacation scheme from the firm that...
