TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[EfficientBag123]

It was a written case study, a client style role play interaction, Motivation/Comp questions with a partner and briefing a partner on a business case study. It was virtual as well.

Okay cheers. I am still waiting to hear back about Bristol, as apparently they are inviting for ACs in January. Thanks very much.

Sorry for this, wishing you luck for the rest of your apps. Could you please say when you completed VI?

@zonnonomo Hi! Congrats! When did you complete the WG test and did you get an email informing that you had passed it? Also, what did your portal say before being sent the TI invite? Thank you.

thank you completed wg 5/12, received email saying id passed the next day, and my portal said something like "we are reviewing your information"

 

[Dannie]

has anyone heard from white & case spring/summer

 

[jojo23]

no clue haha, though I know that the reaction time thing is more so to see how adaptable you are when you make a mistake (how you recover). But like when will I ever need to judge someone's emotions based off an AI-generated version of their face (which excludes everyday body language and tonal cues?)

If only they could see our faces during the test
Had me stress eating afterwards

 

[yk1906]

I was like this all of this week, but I'm like not available tomorrow so I HAVE to get it done today

Same with wanting to finish it today, but it's just because I want to relax a bit during the weekend...

@zonnonomo You are welcome. I completed the WG test on 28 Nov. and have not heard anything yet, so I do not think that is a good sign. Also, my portal says "we are enjoying getting to know you.", so this may mean a rejection, not communicated officially yet.

LMAO so real I was looking more and more confused as time went on my face probably resembled a scrunched-up towel by the end of it

I just received a pfo. This was the only time I was satisfied with my VI

If that's what your portal says it just means they are reviewing ur app and wg now before any invites to TIs. I wouldn't worry tbh

 

[lawyersum]

why do all my apps sound good until the moment after i hit the submit button and suddenly i decide i sounded like a potato in my app
