TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Rads]

The first test is automatic but grad rec will send it manually. I’d assume that means they are still open to considering apps. They will send the second test once you pass the first test.​

That is a relief thank you!

has anyone here asked Links for their WG score (wondering if its worth asking or not but I do wanna know)

Yes, and they sent it!

Did anyone get that Linklaters email?

When I saw the notification for that email, I was ready to wave Links goodbye. Then I was like, oh, thanks for letting me know.

same I had a heart attack when they only said they're reviewing my app... like thanks I guess?? I kinda presumed they were reviewing it??

Is this question for Addleshaw Goddard just for mitigating circumstances, or should I be telling them more about me?

'Use this space to tell us about any mitigating circumstances that you might have, or any other information about you that might be relevant to your application.'

Always ask if you know they are open to giving out the results.. considering not many firms provide results, it's always worth asking.

I did my Milbank first assessment on 6th Dec and haven't heard anything since. Should I assume a PFO or has noone heard from them post-6th Dec after the first test?

Guys in my stress induced madness from not getting a response from Freshfields, I just realised that I never got an email confirming my completion of the FF stage 2 assessment, but I am 10000% sure I submitted it correctly. Should I be concerned?

not too sure on the stage 2 part, but what I do know rn is that they've already held quite a few ACs and are currently giving out offer calls. I've heard that they will be holding some last few ACs in January so maybe they're focusing on their current task at hand before going back to invite people to the next set of ACs?

That's true, and they have still been handing out invites for their Stage 1 and 2 online assessments in the middle of these ACs, which implies they're still open to more applications. The people on this forum have said that they were invited on Nov 28th and then they held their ACs 2 weeks after one day after another, so I think the final invites will be sent within the next two weeks.
