TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

Does it mean anything if a recruiter from a firm you’ve applied to and got through to AC with has viewed you on LinkedIn?

Probably not haha I got rejected recently from a firm post AC and the recruiter looked me up after the AC

Has anyone applied to CRS (1st choice spring, 2nd choice summer) and not heard anything post app?

I got a PFO yesterday around 6pm

I heard about someone in my year that just got 3 VS offers from CMS, Ashurst and Linklaters. I'd probably be devastated if I hadn't found this forum but I'm so glad I can still maintain hope knowing lots of people are still waiting on a response.

Is an A*BC, the same as an AAB or ABB/AAC?

 

[Nom]

For people waiting to hear back from Mishcon, I got an email from them on 9th Feb after asking when I'd hear back post-VI and they said "We aim to contact all applicants for the 2023 Vacation Scheme in the next few weeks to confirm the outcome of their application." so best bet would just be wait :/

Is an A*BC, the same as an AAB or ABB/AAC?

A*BC is 128 UCAS tariff points, AAB is 136, ABB is 128, AAC is 128, AAA is 144

BCLP SVS Offer 😭

 

[Sunshinepink]

A*BC is 128 UCAS tariff points, AAB is 136, ABB is 128, AAC is 128, AAA is 144

So it’s equivalent to ABB & AAC? Are these even good A-Level results for top commercial/corporate law firms in London? 🙁

Quite a few top firms don’t have a level requirements.

Quite a few top firms don’t have a level requirements.

Ohhh okay, thank you 😊

I only got the freshfields WG invite on the 13th of Feb. When do you think we'll hear back about the application?
Also, does everyone get a WG invite?
