TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Thank you for the reply Just a few follow up questions if you don't mind. What kind of specifics should I include? And how woudl I structure this part given there might be several events, or should I pick 2-3 and briefly say what I learned/enjoyed from each? Thank you!

The firm name and the title of the event are going to be of interest, as well as what you personally gained from attending them. You don’t have to detail what the event consisted of unless it’s relevant to what you gained.

I just wanted to ask whether we should ever email grad rec if we haven't heard back regarding an application? I did a VI on the 29th December for a spring scheme. I know ACs already have started and that my VI went terribly so it is a rejection, but it is the not hearing that is getting to me a bit...

anyone heard from CMS recently? their bristol scheme is probably my number 1 choice I have so much conflicting stuff and just wanna hear. Has anyone prompted grad rec successfully with CMS?

Clyde & Co. During ACs is it usually like verbal and seeing how we work within groups? Or do we have written tasks as well?

DM me

Hi can I ask which scheme you applied for & when did you get the AC invite? Thanks

Does anyone have a Mills & Reeve AC around Feb 16th ?

How long do Sidley take to respond post interview? x

 

[FutureLawyer99]

I’ve just completed an assessment centre and I did not finish the last part of a written task. Is it detrimental to my chances of gaining a VS? I am really upset about it

 

[Tattyasha]

Akin Gump Watson Glaser!! Is it automatic after the application?

Nope! Woohoo well done! When did you apply? I think I’m likely a PFO

Did everyone receive this PFO from Davis polk: "We have carefully reviewed your CV and although your credentials are impressive, we are unable to invite you to interview with our Firm."

got this too!

Hey, congratulations! Is this for the direct Tc or the summer vs?

 

[BonanzaBih_]

I just received this too but also have already been invited to an AC? Is this the same for you?

This is interesting because I’ve got a Milbank AC but I wasn’t asked to do the WG

i heard the day afterwards in the morning at 9 am, they are very quick if you pass in my opinion but it really depends, some people hear after a week, but i would say not more than a week

Thanks! Yeah defo thought that - last year they took 2 months after first round to reject me!

Someone I’m friends with just got a Covington AC and they applied close to the deadline - in case anyone is waiting to hear back from them

Have you done the WG for them before? If so, they may just hold your previous results.

 

[Sc924]

People that have interviewed at Gibson, have they mentioned if they are running many more?
