Hi, I'm starting to panic a bit because I have still not received an AC from HSF but they've not rejected me either? Is anyone else in the same boat, because the Vac scheme is due to start in 2 weeks and I've heard nothing!

Worst case scenairo, they might email you and request for you to be transferred to spring scheme

It's just really annoying because the last I heard from them was the 23rd October and they said 'we will review your application and get back to you in a few weeks' but I've heard nothing and my online portal says nothing as well!

So HSF is known to interview and assess all the way up to the week before the winter vac scheme. It's quite mean but there's still hope

    I don't see no news as bad news. Perhaps, they have reviewed your application and haven't made up their minds yet or they haven't got round to reviewing your application yet.

    Keep persevering @yanerlim! I know receiving rejections can be a very tiresome (especially with the amount of time that goes into each individual application form), however, do not lose hope. You will receive the good news you are hoping for eventually! Remember to remain positive - it will be worth it in the end!

    Also, has anyone heard back from BCLP, in terms of AC or offers?

    It does seem like HSF have plenty of spaces on their Winter scheme. I'm unsure as to how many people attend the AC but the numbers must be high. So I suppose you should remain optimistic, if possible. Anyone know how many spaces are available for their winter scheme?

    On another note, has any actually received a vacation scheme offer from Jones Day or Linklaters post Interview/AC?

    I see a lot of interview/AC invites but no offers?
