TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[SaLM]

Anything from Hill Dickinson post online assessment/VI?

Maybe they're just disappointed in everyone's Amberjacks and hoping we all just forget we applied to them

Hi @Jessica Booker, I’m considering relocating back to my home country after graduation and applying for VS from there. Will having a non-UK address on my application forms place me at a disadvantage at the application form stage?

No it wont - I did it last year. However, you might have to fly to the UK for ACs and firms might not be able to provide full sponsorships for travel / accom.

They gave out all the ACs already I think. I would assume pfo.

 

[ohnoselim]

has anyone received an update post-app for stephenson harwood vs (summer)?

I agree ! Unfortunately, we should assume pfo by now, as ACs have been given and no chance to invite more people. I was disappointed too as I think I did the VI well.

Hey gang! Anyone heard anything from Hill Dickinson post-Amberjack Assessment?

 

[qwop881]

Does anybody know if White & Case are still inviting people to ACs? Did my VI a month ago and haven't heard back.

SH spring VS offer!

Congrats!! Out of curiosity, did they call or email? I know they have called in the past but that was also when they had ACs

Is anyone still waiting to hear back post AC for Bakers Spring Scheme?

Anyone got any comments on repeating answers in interviews? I did one interview over the phone with person A, now this week I have another one with person A and person B. I feel like lots of the stuff from the first interview will be covered as they're both competency based, but don't want to give the impression to person A that I only have a couple of script-prepared answers to things... it's just that my why me/why law/why this firm is really tight & I know it know in a punchy elevator package!
