Not looking good it appears that Charles Russell are my last hope. Has anyone heard anything from them today yet? I swear that their acknowledgement email stated that they would get back to us by the end of March.

Yeah they did say hopefully by the end of march.. i haven't heard anything either

I'm yet to hear back from Bristows too, sent the app around 20th Jan and no news. Most firms have sent a message of some sort by now, even if its along the lines of 'thanks for your app, sorry we will get back to you soon'. Which VacScheme did you ask for?

Just got an email from them last week saying that they were going through apps. It was one of my first apps tbh, and more than a little crap! So not holding my breath. I think I asked for summer.

Good luck!

It seems like Bristows have done some emailing today so you should've got something from them. I got a stalling email explaining large number of applications, will be in touch soon etc, meanwhile a few mates have had PFOs

Yes I got one of their emails, I guess at least we've heard something now!

Thanks!

Heard from Charles Russell earlier in March to say they were processing applications, then on Thursday to say they'd received like 660 applications and the next stage is a phone interview. Dates of the scheme are 11 June, 18 June and 2 July... such a shame because I really liked them when I was applying! Good luck anyway :smile:

Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells ask all applicants to complete the Critical Thinking Test or are you already screened by that point? (Training Contract or Vac Scheme)

Thanks.

All applicants, and then they look at your form.

exams are boring.

I know this is a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a place on the Manchester summer scheme at DLA for week beginning 18th june and wants to swap to the july dates? Sod's law that I get 2 vac schemes and can only do one.
