2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Bukayo Saka]

Has anyone received a message from Gowling yet regarding their vacation scheme application?

I just got invited for an online assessment from Gowling so they've started responding to people I guess.

First PFO of the cycle! Hogan Lovells summer vac, pretty disheartening as I got to the AC last time

I just got a rejection too

Fingers crossed for your other applications!

Rejection from Bakers probably messed up the WG test. it was one of my favourite law firms too, but oh well !

NRF rejection post WG test.

Hi, do you mind me asking what your application was for and what date you applied in? How long did it take for them to invite you to WG? Thank you!

Gowling test invite - very surprised as my app was rushed and 90% copied from another app.

Is it the same as TW?

Same, and congrats! Bloody short deadline though, basically needs to be done asap.

Do you mind me asking when you applied? I am still waiting to hear back post-app

Just got WG for Bakers! Does anyone know how high you need to score to be put to the next stage? Do they judge your application alongside your WG score to decide? Really hate the WG, but looking back on my application I don't think it's the best I've done, yikes!

Just received an AC invite for NRF. I could cry as it’s literally my dream firm! I would be most grateful for any tips!!

Congratulations!!! That is brilliant! Do you mind me asking what your application was for and on what date you submitted it on? Did it take long for your application to progress through each stage of the process? Thank you!

I know right! It looks like a very unorthodox online assessment.

Does anyone know how long it'll take to hear back from Weil after submitting the application? (I applied for summer)

After my AC with CMS yesterday I am really happy to say that I've been offered a place on their vacation scheme (CMS Academy) next year! This forum has been a HUGE help to me throughout the process so thank you all! Also want to note for anybody that may have an AC in the future with CMS that the virtual AC was a really positive experience, I felt really reassured throughout and the partners who interviewed me were really friendly!
