Just got an e-mail:

To be honest it does depend on the firm. Some will only contact after the deadline. When I applied for the Vac Scheme/TC at Irwin Mitchell I got my app in 1 and a half months before the deadline. I then had my phone interview before the deadline had even passed!


Aaah, thanks! I guess I'll just have to wait around and twiddle my thumbs for the time being.

They do apparently so you should get an email either way!

I passed the first year of my GDL! They say good things happen in threes so here's hoping!!


Congrats Emily on passing GDL!

I haven't heard anything from VWV though, have you?

No nothing yet unfortunately - not sure if that is good or bad news! They definitely told me this week but I know how things like this tend to get delayed in my firm so they may be a bit late..

Good luck with the vac scheme. I am in a 5 months internship and summer break is kicking in, so not much to do which is good when you know that you have interviews to prepare for but really bad when you waiting to hear back :biggrin:

In my vac scheme they didnt expect me to have any substantial knowledge about the area I was sitting in. So dont worry too much, it will be all good.

Ah good!! Thanks. This makes me feel less guilty about the past 3 hours I've spent watching the Hungary GP.

What's the scoop with RPC and verbal reasoning tests? Does everyone have to do them à la FFW/CMS or is getting invited a good sign?

I can't say for definite but I did an RPC vac scheme and I'm pretty sure grad rec said something about everyone having to do them.

Thank you! I thought that was probably case and it certainly explains that ROF article about the girl who scored in the 99th percentile and still didn't make it to AC.
