TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[TC seeker]

CC offer finally . My most preferred company. That's the end of the application cycle for me. Thank you TCLA for being an amazing help.

Is it direct training contract?

hey! i've applied to 10 firms (atm) and passed the app stage for all except 1 - i did get 3 rejections so far tho and still waiting for the rest, but i do understand how demoralising it can be especially as an international student. it literally feels like your future is entirely dependent on getting an acceptance along with time/visa constraints

HI legallybrunette, as a fellow international student, i have just concluded my applications to Baker McKenzie and Hogan Lovells. Let me know if you're willing to chat further to share experiences and extend motivation...

CC doesn't offer vac schemes (unless you count their SPARK scheme)

Does anyone know how many TCs have been given out by CC?

Have W&C conducted all their Spring ACs or have people recently received VI invites?

Yess they told me as well that I would hear towards the end of January and sent a PFO today. It's really confusing. I thought they lost my application

If Sidley is handing out interview invites to those who applied on the deadline day, does this mean people who applied end of dec are most likely getting rejected?

Thought I’d give an update seeing as I got quite a few messages the last time

+ 32 rejections this cycle

Debating if it’s worth me applying to Shoosmiths as my last application?

Does anyone know where we are supposed to add in the grades for Gateley? Is it in the description.

Indeed.

Haven't received any test invitation from Dentons, shall I assume PFO?

The deadline to complete Mayer brown test is today or within 7 days after receiving the test link?
