TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Highnumberofapplicants]

Just got an update from Weil saying that thank you for applying, we are still in the process of reviewing apps. I haven’t heard back with a WG after applying early November so probably a PFO

Has anyone received the VI invite for Reed Smith post-SST?

There was an email sent out yesterday we will hear back by 20th

Hi everyone - just to say January is our peak time in the forums and I won't be able to answer everyone's questions. A lot of what I typically answer can be found using the forum search function where the same questions have been asked before, so I would encourage you to use this as you are likely to get a quicker response!

Just wanted to say thanks for the constant hustle! I know personally I’ve really improved my apps because of a lot of the advice on these forums so I really am grateful for all the help!

I assume Reed Smith looks at our SST strengths in conjunction with the app, since everyone who was eligible for the VS was sent the SST....but does anyone know how much emphasis they place on our strengths, or is there just a benchmark?

not everyone got the test, there was a screening before!

Yes but I think it was just for eligibility

Kinda losing hope, my second rejection. I don't know how to feel or what to expect from the rest of the firms

Mishcon VI invite!

I would really appreciate any advice and tips on how to approach the video interview and the type of questions asked!

I’ve got my first AC at the end of this month. Would be grateful for some tips on how to prep and build commercial awareness? I’m really nervous about it.

i wish i was only at 2 rejections, got number 5 this week

 

[Uvaia]

yes they have been sending PFOs for weeks, but yeah you are right could mean nothing. However, I feel as though I aced my WG.

I sent my application on the 12th December. I saw someone posting they had heard back and they applied after I had. I haven't heard back yet 💀
