TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I guess at this point no news post TI from Akin means a rejection. Is anyone else still waiting?

Hmm I don't think it's a rejection as they are still inviting people to TI? I think they will only make their decisions after they have completed all the TIs (fingers crossed).

Any news from Akin post TI?

Hi, when did you get your TI invite post test?

 

[confusedlawstudent]

anyone who has got an eversheds AC invite - do you think the interview questions will be the same as last year?

im sorry mate its tough to know where you stand when its just a cover letter in the application. a rejection is just redirection and hopefully something amazing is coming your way next!!
sorry to ask this but when did you apply? just trying to gauge where theyre at with applications.

I'm not sure. I think it was the 4th December :/ I was prob too late haha

For people who did Akin TI, how long did you wait for an invite after online test?

Completed the test around mid-Nov, invited early Dec.

Please explain your motivations for pursuing a career as a commercial solicitor and why you think Norton Rose Fulbright would be a good match for you (750 words) - should this be answered as a cover letter e.g. dear grad rec... i am a 2nd year law student at x uni... thank u for considering my app etc.?

Hi can I ask if this is for London or a regional office?

Maybe we can only get them after they give us a decision?

no I don't think they do, they review your application with your WG then decide whether they'll give you a spot on the AC

Yeah I could only get mine after I got a pfo for summer TC, they didn’t give the actual score but I was told my percentile

i reached out to grad rec after submitting an application and made a typo in my email (none in my app itself though) -- is this going to leave a bad taste in grad rec's mouth and send my app straight into the bin? 😭😭😭
