Hi, thanks, that’s helpful to know. I’ve done the online test and now I’m just waiting to hear whether I’ve been invited to an AC
Still haven't heard back from Milbank post AC so assuming PFO as people were given offers at the end of the week before last. Really do want that feedback though so is it reasonable to send them a brief email? My AC was on the 22nd of January and they said we'd get feedback in a 'couple of weeks'.

Go with the firm you most want to work for. People will say you need to consider the chances of converting to a TC too, and that is something to consider in cases where it’s difficult for you to distinguish a preference between the two.
A vacation scheme is an open door to be considered carefully for a TC, and turning a firm down that you have a clear preference for is the easiest way of closing that door.
All the best and fingers crossed bro. I'm sure you've done well enough. They're some really good firms to be noticed by.
Can AG and Mishcon put me out of my post app misery…please it’s cruel at this point 🫠
Has anyone heard back from Foot Anstey?
I'm pretty sure we're all doing it on the same week icl but if anyone's done it from year before I'd appreciate it😁
Travers will probs get back to you around March time. They called me to schedule an interview at the start of March in 2023
Thanks! This will stop me keeping my phone on loud in anticipation for a while lol 😅😂
Preciate it. Have you previously taken an internship with M&R? If so I'm just trynna be like you. Can't lie I think I messed the Online Test. Had some good traits but they said I needed to improve on some areas more - not a fantastic showing but if its enough to get the AC then I can't complain.
I've done this in 2 interviews and got both offers - the key is to explain the impact on deals, I talked about M&A from buy-side and sell-side perspectives and PE (particularly LBOs) ☺️
Email from Mishcon explaining I will hear result from VI by end of Feb. Sent dead on 6 so I assume it is generic.

Hi Jessica. I filled in the VS scheme form for CRS and put my first preference for the spring scheme. I left the second preference blank. However, my circumstances have since changed. I haven't heard back from the firm yet, but is it worth getting in touch to request for me to be considered for summer placement instead? Or is it better to wait until I get an acceptance before request to change the dates? Thank you!

I would just send a brief email asking if your application can move to the summer. I think when you are waiting to hear back and you definitely can't do the scheme you originally asked for, it is better to follow up earlier rather than waiting.
