They also aim to get back to you within 10 days – nice to have an end in sight!

Willkie is very fast. Received a video interview invite one day after submitting my application.

I have an AC for White & Case this week for the winter vac scheme and wondering if anyone could give me advice for the written exercise?

Will this be virtual?

The next step is an AC in Jan/Feb however.

Has anyone yet to hear from W&C for the winter vac scheme? I applied quite late so worried about having missed the opportunity to progress etc.

Anyone else still waiting on Ashurst winter VS post-application form? I've not received the rejection email which they have been sending out, but am getting worried since ACs seem to be well on their way. Also, on another thread last month, someone contacted grad rec who said they were expecting to have sent out invites by late october/early nov.

Anyone heard back from Latham post VI?

submitted my VI on wed and haven't heard back but the email says ACs start the week commencing 16th nov and 23rd nov so it should be super soon

Seem like if we haven't got anything by now a rejection is imminent then

I’m still waiting also! Sad because I actually did well on the tests but maybe I submitted my app too late (even though they said it was non rolling). Let’s wait and see

Hi, does anyone know what to do if two vacation schemes clash? I have an offer from two places where one of the weeks on both of them clash... Thank you

This is a difficult one as ultimately you are unlikely to be able to do both. You could always speak to the firm who you perhaps are less interested in about the possibility of you only attending the other week, but this may not go down well. Alternatively, you can explain that you have already been offered a scheme and ask if you could be moved to one in the Spring or in the Summer.

i would have thought so but it's already past 3pm on Friday so honestly not sure

Does anyone have tips for the Latham & Watkins VI? Just received an invitation and am nervous - have never done one before.

Thanks, I may have to try to move one... :/

Ask if they can relocate you to another, or else choose what one you prefer more I guess
