TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

I just got a rejection post AC. Does anyone have any tips on picking themselves back up and trying again. Feel quite exhausted from the process and like I’m losing all my chances. I did another AC the day after the one I was rejected from and now dreading that response too. Sorry for the waffle but any tips on how to process and try again would be amazing as feel as though everyone around me is getting offers

Does anyone who attended a WB assessment centre know when they said they would get back to us by?

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling that way, I feel the same tbh and I’m sure there are loads of people on here (and not) who feel disheartened too. I would try and frame it to yourself as a positive that you got so far in the process so at least you can think about all the things you did right to get to this point as you have to remember, some people probably didn’t hear back after the initial application so there was definitely lots they liked about you. Sometimes rejection is just redirection to something better suited to you. I got rejected from a firm for a TC after an in person interview in January which was pretty much the final stage and I felt really sad at first, but then in time I have realised I didn’t actually like that firm as much as I thought and I’m sure I will find a firm which fits me more and I fit them too. Sorry if this is not helpful but maybe you can find comfort in the fact that people with amazing offers are in the minority and may have had to go through so many rejections to get the big break, and you will have your time too. But the majority of us aw probably in the same boat 😌.

Has anyone heard from CRS Guildford office?

I haven't heard anything yet. Not sure if this means a PFO considering they have given out offers for the London office?

Does someone know summer vacation scheme dates for Faegre Drinker? I really need to know in order to apply, and I can't seem to find an email where I could ask.

So I got my feedback call from Osborne Clarke's commercial presentation and WG test which I didn't pass and they told me that they accept people from the 30th percentile upwards but a good score is in the 80-90+ range, is that the case for other firms too?
