TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Stasis]

How long does it take to hear back from Hogan Lovells with a WG invite after submitting the initial application form? Also, did anyone receive an acknowledgement email that they received your application form? Thanks x

I'm not actually sure if it's automatic, but someone may be able to correct me. I've heard of people being rejected prior to the WG.

Hello! Could someone share the application questions for Hogan Lovells Summer Vacation Scheme please? Many thanks!

For Baker Mckenzie's summer VS application - the first question on eligibility to apply states that Summer VS is open to penultimate/ second year of four year course, whereas the website says graduates are eligible to apply as well.

Was this a mistake on their application - any non law graduates applied to BM's summer VS?

Is S&C an accepted abbreviation of Sullivan & Cromwell?

does anyone know if you only have to take the A&O SJT once? i applied for their first year programme last year and was rejected after passing the benchmark for the test. I applied for their VS this year and have not received any emails regarding the SJT

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for Gibson Dunn to get back after submitting the application form?

Anyone here still hasn't received an offer or a rejection from Hogan Lovells (Lift Off) like me

I used S&C in the cover letter and it was put on hold instead of being rejected, so I guess it's ok to use the abbreviation

Hi everyone - sorry if this has already been asked before, but do A&O applicants need to complete the SJT by the deadline (i.e. tonight)?

Does anyone know how long it takes for Simmons & Simmons to reply after VI?

does shoosmith recruit on a rolling basis?

does shoosmith recruit on a rolling basis?

From their website:
"Q: Do you screen applications on a rolling basis?
Yes, we do assess applications on a rolling basis, but every application that reaches us by the application deadline will be assessed. Where possible we encourage you to submit your application at least a week before the actual deadline, this is to prevent you from having any last-minute technical issues or delays, and also enables us to manage our capacity to assess."

Hi!

As DLA Piper doesn't have any minimum education grade requirements and the form does have an education details section - are we not supposed to mention the education details on the CV?

I used S&C in the cover letter and it was put on hold instead of being rejected, so I guess it's ok to use the abbreviation

Thank you! How long was your covering letter?

In a video interview when you have 1 minute to answer for why this firm should you only include 1 point or can you discuss 2 points.

Not received any interview offers yet, should I be concerned?
