Has anyone heard back from Dechert regarding the open day and the vac scheme? I have applied for both (separately) and have never been contacted ... is this just quite a brutal PFO?

strange, I got a PFO a few weeks after applying for the vac scheme so I do think that they send them out.

ooh, so pretty quickly too. I'm quite confused about the delay with me haha - perhaps they're not at all interested! Have popped them an email!

perhaps but from my experience it's just impossible to tell with most firms- sometimes receive interview invite long after other ppl have and sometimes random PFO at end. Good luck though

Hi guys, just applying for DWF vac scheme and was wondering - would you agree that the firm operates under a polycentric model like DLA?
