TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

I'm in the same boat as you, applied for spring, not heard back yet

I sent my app on the day of the deadline, when did you send yours?

If you put down a spring scheme as first choice and a summer scheme as second and third. How likely is it that you are considered for the summer scheme instead of the spring? Or do they always stick to your first choice?? Thanks!

White & Case AC! Completed my VI this Tuesday.

I was a bit confused about the time slots though. It gives you an option to book one 45min time slot (I assume for the interview), when does the written exercise take place? Right after?

for spring or summer?

I applied on the 19th Jan so I'm hoping that they're going through the ones received earlier first. Fingers crossed we hear back soon!

Shearman pfo! Presumably they got all they needed from Oxford.

I sent mine two days before deadline so hopefully we hear back at the same time!

Hi, I have secured a VS there and I’m not Oxbridge! They don’t hire people from there only (clearly)

Moving on to putting in direct TC applications at the moment and was unsure as to where to apply owing to the stage we are at in the recruiting cycle.

Interested in American commercial firms in London.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks
