London.Yes I’ve been waiting a month so assumed PFO but not seen anyone from my office get an AC. What office was this?
They haven't got a Spring/Summer VS, it is several one week VS ......no dates released yet.Hi! Sorry but can I ask if this is for spring/summer? I completed the VI but haven't heard back
I completely agree that perhaps the firm's you had been applying to maybe weren't the right fit for you but also it's important to bear in mind how much of a luck game this whole thing is. I feel like surely they can't rule you out, if anything it shows how committed you are to them ahaha.I have been applying for quite a lot of cycles now. I am starting to worry whether some firms would completely rule me out now after several years of applying to them, even though I have changed up my application and gained new experiences over the years. I have also noticed that my successful applications this year have been with firms I have never applied to before. In a more positive view, maybe this means that I am getting closer to finding the "right" firm for me ...
has anyone else heard from V&E- just wondering if the Interview/Presentation is staggered at all. otherwise I'll cut my losses haha.They haven't got a Spring/Summer VS, it is several one week VS ......no dates released yet.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. It took them two weeks to get back to me.Hey, so sorry to hear thathope you will have more luck on other occasions ! Do you mind me asking how much time it took them to get back to you ?
Thanks !!
It wasn’t last year and they seem to have followed the same process as last year with all the VIs being in one batch.has anyone else heard from V&E- just wondering if the Interview/Presentation is staggered at all. otherwise I'll cut my losses haha.
I think Clyde & Co only look at applications from penultimate year law students and final year non-law students for their VS (which is the only way to get a TC). I heard that they don't consider applications from grads, which is pretty questionable imo ...I have been applying for quite a lot of cycles now.

Thanks! Yes, agreed, there is a huge element of luck to it all! I have learned a lot about the process after how long I have been applying and I know I am only getting better at each of the stages with practice so sometimes it's hard to understand why I get rejected at 1st stage for firms I previously advanced with. I worry sometimes they see me as a stale candidate and question why I failed to convert (this is something some lawyers I work with have warned me about when including some VSs on applications), however I would like to think that recruitment teams today understand how competitive it is and won't view an experienced candidate as a weak one. Fingers crossed all this won't even be a concern anyway and hopefully won't be applying next cycle haha 😅I completely agree that perhaps the firm's you had been applying to maybe weren't the right fit for you but also it's important to bear in mind how much of a luck game this whole thing is.

Glad to hear you switched up your approach and are seeing some success now! I also did similar and have seen more success this cycle.
Yeah, I noticed this. Their loss I suppose!I think Clyde & Co only look at applications from penultimate year law students and final year non-law students for their VS (which is the only way to get a TC). I heard that they don't consider applications from grads, which is pretty questionable imo ...
A friend talked to the grad rec at an event at my uni last week and she said a lot of ppl were rejected already so if you haven’t heard back yet it’s probably a good sign.has anyone else heard from V&E- just wondering if the Interview/Presentation is staggered at all. otherwise I'll cut my losses haha.
Hi, I've heard back from Wedlake Bell!!Has anyone heard from Wedlake Bell for the Summer Vacations Scheme? Any idea when they usually get back to applicants?
Seems like obvious indirect age discrimination.I think Clyde & Co only look at applications from penultimate year law students and final year non-law students for their VS (which is the only way to get a TC).
