TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[legal18]

For Wilkie's final question 'Please tell us about your achievements and positions of responsibility. (500 words)' Do we need to relate these back to the firm/the role?

The test is not automatic so you may expect to wait at least a week if they have a number of applications. Hope you hear back soon.

Heyyyy re CMS I know their deadline is today -- I can't find any information about closing time. Should I assume it's midnight?

Hi!😊 would you mind sharing what VI questions you had please?

Hey, no offence but it's unlikely anyone will want to give you the VI questions they had. As much as this forum helps support each other, giving overall advice on tests, ACs etc, there is a finite number of positions for one role, and therefore applicants/ applications are in competition with each other, whether we like it or not.
Giving you the answers for the VIs would create a very unfair advantage as you would be able to prepare specifically for those.
There is a difference with knowing what the type of questions are, and knowing the actual questions, and I would be surprised if anyone was actually willing to share those.

I don't think it is. I also just got the invite and applied a month ago.

Damn CC PFO (for London TC). This one stinks. Last year I was waitlisted and this year I spent significantly more time on my application, made sure to tailor my answers to the firm as much as possible and basically did everything in my power to make sure I get through the VI. It just shows that you cannot take anything for granted and sometimes it is a numbers game. Onto the next one

I am confused too… is it automatic or not

I thought the WG is automatic?

I am not sure if they have changed their process this year?

First time I pass a WG. After doing them for seven years. And this happens. I have no words.

Ah okay! They seem to have changed their process this year

HL WG invite! Applied 31/10

I absolutely love how firms send two rejections (/s)...must just be an administrative thing but it's really twisting the dagger.

 

[g.cl.2020344]

I haven’t heard from W&C since original app for their WVS, even tho it’s started. I’m not sure if they are considering me for spring- should I email?

 

[g.cl.2020344]

I think someone already mentioned that they emailed and heard back saying that they were considering people in order of their preference

Ah amazing thank you! I’ll hold strong and not email.
