TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Anyone have any tips for the Clyde & Co video interview. I have Reed Smith, Simmons, Mayer Brown and a bunch of others

 

[jamieclarke]

does anyone know anything about the Stephenson Harwood vc process? is the online assessment automatic or after they review your application?

None automatic amberjack with VI

This Mayer Brown PFO is devastating. Full marks for applied numerical and applied verbal + 6779 in Amberjack. Still not enough!!!!

 

[Donuttime]

I genuinely can't laugh anymore because this application season keeps getting worse.... PFO from Mayer Brown (either VS) after getting 6999 in their test. What a joke LOL.

how on earth???

 

[James Wakefield]

When did you guys do the Mayer Brown test?

Thanks!

 

[Winter]

Anyone emailed Latham asking for an update?

[Novaa]

Mayer Brown PFO… Oh this cycle is really something.

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

I haven't heard anything back from MB... maybe a good sign?

 

[gmcaolaw]

[Heartofglass]

Happy Monday beautiful people of TCLA(sylum). I guess we will start hearing back from firms this week. Anyway, may this mentality be with you.
