Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

[191919191]

Hi I just received this from A&O direct TC! I really don’t know what does it mean! Does it mean I pass the SJT or everyone had it? Thanks!

“Thank you for taking the time to apply and complete the interactive assessment. We hope that it has given you an insight into the working environment and types of situations you may encounter as a trainee lawyer at Allen & Overy.

Our team is now reviewing your application and you should expect to hear an outcome from us as soon as possible.”

Thank you so much for sharing, may I ask if you got the decision via an email or a phone call? I was told that they are going to schedule a call with me in the next two working days and I am nervously anticipating whether it would be good or bad news...
Good luck with all your other applications!!!

how did they tell you they were going to schedule a call? I'm also nervously waiting on post-AC results for the SVS

It's horrible isn't it! Mine was on 21.11 - I emailed last week and grad rec said last AC's were Friday just gone and we'd hear this week once they'd gone through all the feedback

So based on that we’re likely to hear today? Eek!

 

[OliviaPope]

I may be wrong but I have a sneaky suspicion they might wait until next week to get back to us? I only say this because it’s the last day of the Winter vacation scheme and they might be focusing on that

Ahh I see, that would make sense!

One person I know got an offer today… confused as to whether this means they are contacting successful ppl today 🥲

 

[liseazurite]

Ahh I’m not sure then, I guess we will have to wait and see! do you know what time they received their offer?

2pm
Good luck 🤞🏻

Anyone heard back for summer VS?

Still nothing…

I'm considering the WVS finished last Friday and people have said they had ACs for direct TC tomorrow and Wednesday, so maybe we won't hear back until later this week, or perhaps even later if they want to consider direct TCs at the same time as SVS places

Some ppl have heard back for SVS so maybe we’re on the waitlist or smth
Generally thought we’re not in competition with direct tc applicants

Out of curiosity, do you know if that person was called today or if they were emailed that GR tried to call them last week and then called back to get the offer today? I'm just anxiously waiting too!
