I have a feeling the travers ‘our places are filled’ email is on the way
Maybe not tbh because when they called last Friday about picking an interview date, they said they have a few spots lined up starting the week of the 22nd of March so and I just did my interview this Monday (15th)I have a feeling the travers ‘our places are filled’ email is on the way
Dechert rejection post-app. That marks the end of my VS cycle:
17 applications
5 Video Interviews
3 ACs
3 VS
Just want to say a massive thank you to everybody on this forum for being so welcoming, supportive and helpful. It really makes this process a lot easier/more enjoyable.
Think we all got this same wording in the email. I replied saying I was still intending to pursue a TC in 2023, and just got an email with the research questions confirming that I am still being considered for the summer vacation scheme (ie not direct TC) . Hope this helpsI guess they said no to me as I am not an undergraduate right now. So they decided to withdraw me, but if I am still interested in starting in 2023 then I was asked to reply to them. As a result I assumed I will be considered for a TC only, but not eligible for a Summer VS. I am a bit confused actually.

happy for you! And thank you for giving the rest of us hope rooting for you to get that TCMaybe not tbh because when they called last Friday about picking an interview date, they said they have a few spots lined up starting the week of the 22nd of March so and I just did my interview this Monday (15th)
I'd call them up and try and rearrange and yes in my experience it's very easy to change an interview day if you are unavailableDoes anyone know if firms that give you a days notice for interview are usually chill about moving the date if you are unavailable the next day? Because that’s pretty short notice
It’s going to depend on the firm and the situation. They may only have that interview slot available, and therefore might not be able to offer you a later date.Does anyone know if firms that give you a days notice for interview are usually chill about moving the date if you are unavailable the next day?

I had the same email and same response re the research questions so definitely agree, think it was a default approachThink we all got this same wording in the email.

My profession to interview/AC and two offers literally came within the last 2 weeks...I had given up on this cycle and was planning for the next. Just goes to show that it's not over till it's actually over.

Honestly I’m just laughing because they obviously thought that they’d automatically rid themselves of hundreds of apps by withdrawing us, and yet we’ve all replied basically rejecting their rejection - bet they regret giving us the option to ‘explain our circumstances’ 😅I had the same email and same response re the research questions so definitely agree, think it was a default approach

Thank you so much! Fingers crossed haha 😁Three vacs is phenomenal! Congrats and best of luck for them! Hope you convert all three and have your pick of TCs!
Thank you! I've got one next month, one in June and one in July! 😁Wow 3 offers from 3 AC's is a really awesome conversion rate - well done!
Are they scheduled for different weeks or are you going to have to make some tough choices?
Oh that's so fortunate Two of mine clash so I'll have to turn one down. And my third may clash too, if they don't put me on the earlier scheme. Bit rubbish but it is what it is...Thank you so much! Fingers crossed haha 😁
