TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Sarah T]

Hi - re Simmons & Simmons does this mean they have offered all AC places?

This is their wording to me:

Unfortunately due to the high volume of applications, we are now at capacity for our Summer Vacation Scheme and are unable to progress your application to the next stage of our assessment process. Regrettably, we cannot transfer your application to another scheme.

i just got rejected from LL about my Direct TC and spring VS... could you please tell me when you'll hear from LL about the summer VS?

hi sorry to hear this. Is it after you completed the AC?

 

[H7876713131]

Not quite!

I applied to quite a few firms in my second year but didn't apply at all in my third year. During my master's last year, I sent off 1 application.

However, this year I have sent a lot of applications off.

I'm also studying for a master degree!!! Congrats for your AC and hope you have great results!!!

actually I haven't completed my AC yet... they didn't invite me for an interview yet sorry

Has anyone who applied to Shoosmiths not received an invite to do the strengths test? I notice a lot of people saying they have and was wondering if this was actually the next step or whether it just runs concurrently.

 

[DisciplineTC2526]

Has anyone done a second stage interview with Morgan Lewis before (VS)?

Please PM me

Does anyone know how likely it is for Latham to offer vs after an AC? And to get a tc from the vs?

This is their wording to me:

Thanks - I am super confused as have not had PFO yet from Simmons and Simmons post VI. But now have they filled all their spots?

Pretty sure they get every single candidate to do the test. Worth checking your spam folder or on the portal. If not there then I would deffo email them.

Ah yeah sorry should have clarified - I have done the test but wanted to see if that was genuinely the next stage or whether they just view it holistically. But thanks!

Walker Morris AC help please - there is no form of interview which is unusual...just a group exercise and presentation.

DWF PFO Post-VI
I knew it was coming but it still hurts

 

[Phoebe123451]

Congrats!!!!! do you mind me asking when you applied? Thank you for the update!!

 

[Livlaw]

Does anyone know TLTs ratio for VS to TC?

Congrats!

Can I ask the slots which Travers gave you to book the interview?

 

[Deleted member 21782]

for DWF, is the AC held in manchester for all applicants or just the ones that applied to manchester


i’m sure i put down london as my choice, so i am bit puzzled?

My AC is in London.

I’m sure they’ll be getting in contact with everyone soon but I wouldn’t assume you won’t get through until they confirm it - you don’t know where your app is in their process.

It was for London vacation scheme not the Bristol vacancy.
