TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Does anyone know if it’s still worth applying to Sidley?
Hi guys! - I've applied for Baker McKenzie's vac scheme and don't really know what to expect. I've heard that they have both a Watson Glaser and their own internal test, is this correct or is it just the one? I've also heard that their video interviews are also a bit different to other firms - if anyone could share any insights on their experiences I would be really grateful and am happy to do the same for Weil, feel free to PM me 
If a firm asks for a company/organisation reference but you don’t think it’s appropriate to provide one, is it ok to provide two academic references
I thought they use Amberjack, or SHL.Hi guys! - I've applied for Baker McKenzie's vac scheme and don't really know what to expect.

There wasn't a WG in the application stage, just a selective amberjack, and then the VI
Whether there's a wg in the AC / later on Idk but I do doubt it.
And ICL the VI is horrific, Godspeed
did Weil say when they would get back to applicants post-VI/SJT?
Yeah during my call with early careers they said we would hear back early in the new year with an app update cos they’re reviewing our VI atm over a few weeks period to determine final AC invites.
Thank you for this!!There wasn't a WG in the application stage, just a selective amberjack, and then the VI

Two questions:
How long did it take you to hear back for the Amberjack?
With the VI being “horrific” LOL, is it because of the prep time or just curve ball questions?
Just got DLA Ti invite! Any insights on that? I can exchange with NRF vi, Weil vi and Simmons vi
Both. It took about a week for me to hear back from the amberjack being progressed. Before that it took 9 days after the deadline to receive an SJT. Yet to hear anything about the AC though.
This ^^^^^
And yea the VI was very unconventional - it tested how well you know the firm & commercial priorities
But 30s to prep was insane
For anyone who completed the online tests for Osborne Clarke, how long after submitting your application did you receive the test, and how many days were you given to complete it?
Can you share how many questions were asked and how long you had to answer each one please? Thank you
RS assessment, applied deadline 
Cannot believe they actually managed to do it before NY. Guess those moving forward will hear back today?RS assessment, applied deadline
