Sorry I mean backwards as in from submission deadline and working back to the earliest apps as the invites seem to be going in that order if that makes sense?

I was going to say, I haven't heard anything post application submission.
the WG is not automatic as I've been rejected before due to my application before receiving WG invite.
Thanks
I applied way back in October but I know a few people who got rejected applied much later.I think it was around the 14 November!Congrats! May I ask when you did the VI?
It's much more likely they're dividing it up by spring/summer applications. Plus, I don't think it's ever worth guessing as it could quite simply be random or one of their assessors has got through their candidates much faster than the others!
I don’t think so, they told me congratulations for reaching the stage so I assume not
Does anyone have advice on answering the "In which areas of law do you want to practice & why?" question? I'm writing about my interest in energy law because my home community is heavily reliant upon the oil and gas industry and I'm eager to be involved in an industry which is currently evolving to become more sustainable. I'm a non-law student, so other than my personal experiences I'm finding it hard to contextualise. Is this an ok way to frame my answer?
They're probably waiting till after applications close on the 17th so don't lose hope! They only run one vacation scheme so they wouldn't want to do too many interviews (if any at all) before they knew how many applications they had and the general quality of them.
Had an AC with Linklaters yesterday and got an email today asking to schedule a call about the outcome. Is it good or bad that they've made the decision so quickly?!
I haven't (for VS), but I applied on the last day before the deadline
I think it's impossible to tell with Links. They endeavour to let everyone know ASAP after the Vacation Scheme. I got my Winter VS offer 2 days after the AC though, so best of luck!
Use this question to show your commercial awareness as well. Demonstrate that you understand the role of a [insert practice area] lawyer and also highlight some of the interesting/challenging things happening in that sector. Then say why you find that work/sector interesting/appealing/exciting etc.
Is anyone else still waiting for a reply from HSF? Seen both ACs and rejections but I haven't heard anything yet
Fingers are crossed for you. Do you mind sharing if this was for a VS or direct TC, and when you applied?
Hopefully they are just going through them in order then as I also only applied a day or two before the deadline! Fingers crossed for youYeah, I am still waiting too (applied on the deadline for the Summer Scheme). I hope I am not waiting for so long only to be rejected
I got an email from a firm in November when I applied for their winter vac that their places were full but they liked my application so they’re considering me for a summer scheme and will be in touch to confirm an interview. Is it best to just wait to see what happens or give an email asking more?
