TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

is dechert wvs rolling? can’t find any info online
Dechert are indeed rolling, however, this is only revealed upon starting their application process: "We recruit on a rolling basis and make offers to successful candidates before the final application deadlines, so we encourage candidates to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment."
 
Also does anyone know if Covington Winter Vac Scheme apps are considered on rolling or non-rolling basis?
Hi! On their FAQs page on their website, it states that it is non-rolling.

Do you review applications on a rolling basis?

We do not recruit on a rolling basis, all applications are reviewed once the deadline for the position has passed.
 
Hi Everyone,


I know the new cycle has just opened, and I really want to make the most of it. This is my third cycle, and while I feel my writing has improved, I would be so grateful if someone who has received an offer could spare some time to review my answers and share any feedback on how I can improve further. Of course, anyone else who is willing to help is also very welcome, any guidance would mean a lot.

Thank you so much in advance!
