TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

When did you apply? Maybe they decided to switch it up half way through

Nope not heard back. Despite the written element which was okay, the Sjt was fairly easy. Although I didn’t answer one of them as I had a parcel delivered and I didn’t know it was timed thank you!

I didn’t even get a feedback report or anything is this standard?

I applied on November 4th. I don't remember getting any feedback and can't find any in my inbox!

Thanks, have you gotten yours yet? If not, then hoping you'll get it soon.

It's so frustrating, I haven't received any interview/AC yet, and I was holding onto that stage 2 invite for my dear life as proof that one of my target firms thinks I'm worth it.

Literal wording: Congratulations! Your application has been shortlisted for the next stage of the process, as you’ve demonstrated the potential we’re looking for.

if it helps, I think you're worth it also don't be disheartened! Your AC will come in time, I'm sure of it!

I hope so, thanks. And same wishes to you!! At this moment, I'm just praying some firm gives me a chance despite my non-target uni abroad LOL

For White & Case’s question, “Please use the space below to provide details of any careers events you have attended (e.g. insight days, workshops, presentations etc.). These do not need to be White & Case specific. (Max. 350 words)”:

(a) What structure should I follow?
(b) Can I refer to virtual events such as those run by TCLA? I am an international student so, apart from one Open Day, I do not have much in-person experience. Virtual events have therefore been particularly valuable for me.

I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has applied, and also from @Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu , who are known for their structure and strategies here in TCLA

Thank you in advance!

Random and a little silly, but for a monitored SJT with numerical aspects, can I split-screen my iPad between the notes app and calculator? Idk if that’s seen as cheating lol, I don’t think I’ve got a physical calculator

Hi! Excellent, congrats! May I please ask when you applied and when you got an email informing that you passed their WG test? Thank you.

Is Weil's SJT/VI automatic? I know there's been some discussion about it but I'm too cooked atm to go looking ;-;

HAHA lowkey with the monitored SJT with numerical questions, I whipped out my clacky (ASMR type keys) calculator and made a whole show and performance for them hahah... but honestly I don't think it's an issue, don't think they'll be able to tell unless you wear glasses and they can see it in the reflection...

Honestly unsure about iPads/tablets but I can say that I've always used Google Sheets as a calculator (I like my spreadsheet calculations lmao) for monitored tests with numerical aspects and haven't run into any issues before

Was this for London or Bristol office?

@Jaysen @Abbie Whitlock @Andrei Radu, hi guys, hope you are well. I am just wondering whether you may know what Paul Weiss's application policy is like on reapplying in the same cycle (for SVS if got rejected for Winter)

Thanks in advance

LMAOO real, I love clacky keyboards/keys yeah I was thinking that so fingers crossed should be alright
