TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[nansies]

Hi! About a week ago I emailed Bakers grad rec team to see if I could "transfer" my Summer VS app to DTC because I can no longer make the dates. I haven't received a reply so far... when should I follow up and do you think they may agree to this?

I think someone earlier on the thread said they got an email on 2nd Feb to do a TI with Sidley

They've already given them all out, if I remember correctly. The last AC's are next week.

For summer vs?

I submitted Sidley on the deadline and now kinda regret😭 i feel like it was a strong application but I’m not sure if they evaluate all applications or fill the spots rolling

guys for anyone waiting on mishcon summer post sjt im gna dare to send grad rec an email asking about whether they have a rough timeline for when we’ll be hearing back. will keep u updated😍

I contacted them the other day as I applied for Spring and was told I would hear back by end of January and I still have radio silence (maybe I emailed the wrong email? Has anyone else who applied for spring who hasn't got an AC invite heard back about PFO's or anything?

 

[Lawyer20]

Anyone heard from GD post sjt for Summer vac scheme Have AC’s already gone out?

 

[adfs456]

Cooley AC invite! Any tips appreciated pls )

 

[Afuturetrainee]

Has anyone done AC at Mayer Brown for Spring specifically in the past week and have any insight on when they're planning to get back to us?

I heard its a 2-3 week turnaround

[Ernesto]

Those who have done Osborne Clarke AC this week - how did you find it?

 

[toughluck]
