TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I think that's the benchmark. I applied early in October and got 24, not hearing back. Did you remember how long did you answer each VI question? I remember I was answering each question around 90 seconds, maybe they expect more from me, like giving more examples instead of one though I use STAR

I got an ac with 24 so it was def not the cut-off

Gonna look at some of the apps in allhires to get the 2 step verification email....

Kidding aside, I got so excited to get an email from candid....

"You have 48hours until the deadline for x firm"

So real unfortunately

This application season has taught me that applying earlier really is a scam

[BealMcAlly]

Has anyone at all heard from the below firms?

Post-app:
Bristows
Cooley (aside from holding email)
Baker McKenzie

Post SJT/WG and or VI: (spring or summer whatever is applicable)
Mishcon
Simmons²
Reed Smith
Linklaters(spring vs specifically)

 

[Bbhu19]

no i asked them whether they would be willing to move me to a later batch of ACs (that is, assuming they have them?)

we'll see how they respond...if they only hold their spring ACs over 3 days well then either my AC prep is going to suffer or my mocks are going to suffer...or worse, both lol

Oh ok hopefully then can reschedule best of luck
