The Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2016

Yes me too! Which office?

Thanks mate, much appreciated tbh I was happy at passing the app screening stage as that was where I thought I would struggle with my average grades etc so it has given me confidence and shown that I need to work on the online testing side of things. Good luck to you in (presumably?) pursuing a career in investment banking

I think the grad team at White & Case have a plan- just don't reply to rejected candidates for months, and by the time you send a PFO, they'll be happy just to be put of of their misery!

Has anyone recently received a PFO from BLP?

Well done ! when did you hear back from Gateley?

I also applied to BLP and did the online test, however I have yet to hear from them.
Do you know anyone who has been invited to an interview or rejected?

I know of people who have been invited to interview but no rejections, so not looking good

After a 4 month wait, I got a Clydes MENA vac scheme phone interview anybody got tips please?

Ah no... Did you apply to Clyde & Co? Or know anyone who has?

Congratulations

I also applied for a Clydes MENA vacation scheme and only received an e-mail two weeks ago that they're still reviewing applications. When is your interview? Do you know if the interview spots are filled?

i am not sure if they do, but it seems likely. It just seems that even the top candidates (as evidenced by this thread) receive rejections from places

i applied to the MENA vac scheme and heard back a couple of days ago



i had my interview yesterday! no idea about the interview spots - they might still be reviewing applications im not sure!

Unfortunately rejected from HL, HSF and NRF first year schemes, must have failed the WG and VRT! Made it into the final 100 for law extra though oh well at least it's good practice for the inevitable rejections next year :P I have on more ace up my sleeve which Is a summer internship for 8 weeks which is in a related field to commercial law, should I not manage to get a vac/scheme TC in law then at least I may have the possibility of securing a grad job with that employer, with a view to moving into law later

CONGRATS!!! Hard work does pay off!

Congrats! Persistence really does pay off!

Congrats!! It's all worth it even with one vac scheme, hope it goes well 😀

I hope the interview went well! Any tips/advice?

I didnt get asked any competencies! just about the firm. but people have told me they got asked loads so i really dunno there doesnt seem to be consistency

Thanks for the info I hope you get good news from them soon
