Wait they’re still going - congrats! I’m feeling a little hopeful nowPH Hirst Invite! My first win!!
I got the same thing. I’m still in complete shock.Did everyone's non-PFO PFO from BDB Pitmans include the "As we were impressed with your application and video interview..." line/bits about the alternative events? Just trying to gauge if it was a generic platitude to soften the blow of having spent lots of time and effort for nothing or genuine.

Yeah I got the same email. Feeling so disappointed and put off by the firm now. I had such a good perception of them before so a real shame :/Did everyone's non-PFO PFO from BDB Pitmans include the "As we were impressed with your application and video interview..." line/bits about the alternative events?

I can answer this - it’s very genuine.Did everyone's non-PFO PFO from BDB Pitmans include the "As we were impressed with your application and video interview..." line/bits about the alternative events?

rant:
did a vacation scheme at a firm and just got the post-scheme rejection email. feeling absolutely blindsided - i thought i did well and thought i'd at least get waitlisted. i've got two other schemes coming up this year but now i'm just feeling completely dejected and hopeless. what if i don't get any of those either? seems like i don't have as good a grip as i thought on assessing my own performance, and now i feel like my confidence has just disappeared. and i really liked the firm as well.
anyone got any words of wisdom / advice / encouragement? (btw i will hopefully book a feedback call w them)
Just an email saying they won't do a vac scheme this year nor offer any training contracts. Had this line in it too, but have a feeling most emails followed the same wording.hi what was the message? i want to make sure if it’s rhe same one i got

"The 2025 summer vacation scheme applications will open in the late autumn/early winter of 2024. As we were impressed with your application and video interview, we would love to see an application from you again towards the end of the year."
Again, not fully clear on what this means for me personally as I'm in my final year, and was planning to start the see in autumn but do need to secure funding for it.

Is one of them WBD?.. want to know if their response time after ACHi @Jessica Booker - I’d really appreciate your advice!
I’ve secured 2 one-week VS: one at firm A starting on 17 June and the other at firm B, which offers two options, starting on either 3 June or 10 June.
I just had an AC with firm C, and if successful, I’d be invited to attend a VS on 3 June. Annoyingly, last week, I mistakenly told firm B that my preferred VS week was 3 June.
What do you think is the best thing to do? Ideally, I’d like to do all 3. Should I ask firm B if they could change my VS to w/c 10 June now, or wait until I hear back from firm C (by the end of May)? Does it look bad if I ask to change due to my mistake, especially for a firm that hasn’t made me an offer?
It also might be worth noting that I could do an AC for direct TC with firm B in late June, but I’m worried this would impact my chances.
