    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey I haven’t - I’ve chosen an organisation + their product which is just a rlly recent innovation that I am particularly interested in. The key is to relate back what was innovative about that to the firm + how the firm could incorporate similar methods etc. I wouldn’t feel pressure for the...

    I also applied on the 26th and haven’t heard yet - I expect it’s just down to more apps than predicted

    Please don’t let it get you down! I have failed a VI many more times than that and each time it’s a kick up the bum and invaluable experience

    I did the tests on Weds and received the feedback report today. I was also wondering what good results looked like?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Everyone is under a lot of pressure at the moment with just days left of application season. It is understandable that you may be trying to help but the dialogue is becoming quite abrasive. You may indeed be right, but that tone of conversation isn't really appropriate for this forum.

    Ashurst 2020/2021

    Which question is that? Sorry I may be being daft - but if you’re referring to the last q I wouldn’t really reference personal skills. It’s more asking for generally what will make a good lawyer of the future.

    Thank you - good luck to you too, definitely turn off your notifications for the Weil meeting! I completed the VI around the 21st of Dec I believe.

    It's hard to say without commentary specifically from Grad Rec - I expect that a reasonable amount of importance will be placed on the VI. In my opinion, you had to get through the WG to get a VI, so that's a benchmark already passed. However, if they have a lot of candidates who all have VI's...

    I only completed my WG earlier this week, and it is my understanding that people are still receiving invites to do the WG. So I wouldn't worry yet if you haven't heard back - it seems the early stages of the process are still happening!

    Hey guys - I completed my Bakers VI on the 21st of December. The deadline was on the 23rd at 00.00 and its showing as completed at 10am on the 23rd on the portal. This would be after the deadline. Should I contact grad rec and check that this is a glitch they recognise?
