TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[DisciplineTC2526]

What is the application process for Winston & Strawn and how many people do they take for VS and TC?

I've seen: application --> WG --> Interview (assuming just one partner interview) --> VS?

Is anybody with a Baker's AC willing to share their SJT feedback (either here or by DM)? I am just trying to gauge what they are actually looking for

Mishcon holding email this morning. Funny because before receiving it I was convinced they'd only send it to people they want to progress to the next round but now I don't know what to make of it

Anyone not heard from CRS post app, I know people have had VIs but got sent a holidng email saying they are still going through applications.

I also got the holding email … haven’t had a VI invite

I excelled at verbal reasoning, then scored 4, 9, 7, 9 for grit, applied intellect, creative force and digital mindset respectively

Hey, does the holding email say anything about when to expect an outcome? I've done the VI but not received the email.

Anyone know if Bakers require you to complete the PGDL? Their Legal Cheek profile states they no longer fund it and only fund a foundation course with BARBRI. So as a non-law student, would I just do the BARBRI + SQE1+2?

Think its the MA/SQE an MA conversion course with SQE. My friend is doing that right now with Uni of Law. Don't know if its the same.

It says ‘we hope to notify you with the outcome within the next couple of weeks’ and I got it on Thursday! Out of interest - which scheme did you put as your first preference?

Anyone have any tips for Osborne Clarke final AC (group exercise, panel interview: motivational/ situational/ commercial questions and WG)

Thank you! I think I put Spring as 1st choice.

Hi - can anyone provide an insight into the mayer brown job simulation? happy to offer advice on any others i have done ))

 

[lawvac]

Have HL sent all their invites for the AC? cause I haven’t heard back so i’m not sure if I should assume an automatic PFO then

 

[lolololol]

hi can anyone that has done the simmons test and VI give some insight please!

 

[Carrington Lane]

Hi, I want to ask if anyone know when will Latham have their last sets of AC for summer VS? And if I haven't got an AC invite by now, should I consider it a PFO?

[illegallyblonde]

Hi!

I would like a little advice as I am in a bit of a dilemma. I am not sure if this has been asked before.

I have already secured a VS for a firm in the summer with a firm I loved, but I have an AC coming up very soon for another firm. If I was successful at this AC, I would not be able to do both vacation schemes as they overlap by quite a few days. Ideally, I would still like to go to this one as it would be a great experience but I am becoming quite anxious about it and it is causing me quite a bit of stress preparing for it, which has got me questioning whether this AC is worth the stress if I can't even go? I want to avoid sacrificing my uni grades.

It is one of my favourite firms, but nowhere near the firm that I have secured the VS for (I have visited the offices of both firms). On their website, it says you must be available for the full dates, which does suggest that I won't have a way to do both. Is it worth emailing and asking them whether there would be?

Has anyone been in a situation like this? Would you just attend the AC anyway and just cope with the stress for a while even if it is a little pointless?

Thank you!
