TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Is that a bad percentile? I got the same haha, but I passed 2 years ago with links with a 23% percentile for the WG somehow 💀. They said their sjt is much more important

Oh that makes me feel a tad bit better. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Just received my WG report from Linklaters- 72.5% in the test overall and 59% percentile... there goes another PFO

Honestly as scary as it seems, they love their SJT over WG. So until they send that PFO there is still a chance

Also, heads up for anyone waiting on Links. They randomly select AC dates to resit the WG, so I’d maybe brush up on some practice tests still

Just curious, when it says 59th percentile - does it mean of general WG test, the general population or 59th percentile of Linklaters applicants who took the test? Because the two will be totally different.

How are people seeing their WG results for links?

Its out of the Linklaters applicants who took the particular WG test

Email grad rec and ask them for your score.

Would anyone with a Links AC invite be open to sharing their sjt strengths and weaknesses? Fine if you want to dm too! Thank youuu

strengths: motivation, working with others
weakness: resource and work management

Anyone heard anything for Bristol office Simmons vac scheme?

 

[BatmanBeyond]

So happy to say that I accepted a TC offer right before Christmas 🥳🥳 A huge thanks to TCLA for the support over the last two years ❤️

NGL was so tempted to tell you guys earlier because we've been in this together but wasn't allowed to share the news.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly you have been a star on this forum and will never forget your words of wisdom which helped me a lot during a particularly challenging and frustrating time. You more than deserve the offer, congratulations once again!

Sorry guys kinda random but I'm currently looking at W&C's deals and I must say I'm really impressed by the firm's dedication to escalators.

I think we should all write to them about their escalators, make the grad rec believe how much we stan escalators, confuse the hell out of em.

 

[Ijustwanttobealawyer]

Oh, I think I applied for spring so i'm not sure if that person had an AC for winter?

Oh sorry I was trying to work out whether they sent out ACs all in one go (I.e if I don’t hear today, assume it’s a PFO) or if it was staggered! Sorry if it was unclear!

 

[Rejections PFO]

Anyone heard anything for Bristol office Simmons vac scheme?

Hearing back from Simmons? What a positively preposterous concept!

"Tell us about your interests"

Well...ever since a young age I've had a fascination with escalators and their dynamism and versatility. This draws me to White & Case, as I understand that the firm likes escalators just as much as I do. I think we possess alignment beyond my understanding, hence why you should accept me!
