TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[hopingforamiracle]

Hey all! have a Cappfinnity assessment coming up and dreading it because the slide scale questions always get to me. So I'm preparing to the cognitive part separately but as for the slide scale, I have heard different experiences; people saying that for instance, if you put it in the middle that shows you're passive as opposed to assertive (just what I heard). Does anyone have any tips or insight into it as an SJT? Had done a few before and I feel like I always don't get something right. Any insight is always appreciated and I'm happy to help with firms like HD

What are guesses for when Slaughters non-law VS offers will get sent out?

 

[user123987]

Does anyone have any advice for how to answer, " If given the opportunity to change or improve one specific aspect of the world, what would it be and why? Please discuss the significance of this change, the steps you would take, the potential benefits it could bring, and any challenges you anticipate."

Anybody who had the Forsters AC today, PM me!

I am worried that they have already sent out offers if they said results from friday as it is has been very very quiet
Hopefully we hear back soon tho cos I was in the first week of interviews so has been almost three weeks and the wait is so bad

Keep your head up! Likelihood is we would have heard if offers went out, sometimes these things just take longer than expected. I'm sure you'll smash it, so don't get down until you hear the result

Guys does anyone have an idea on W&C timeline for spring and summer VS

 

[InterestInPublicLaw]

I don’t know how I’m feeling lol I’m so busy now but then there’s an app I made which requires some pre-recorded video responses (with limited prep time for each) and I kinda know I’m not gonna make it to the next stage now that I completed a few with one remaining. Don’t even know what’s the point lol

I haven’t gotten one either but in past years it was the DTC applicants who got the holding email and I also applied for the spring placement scheme so maybe that’s why we haven’t?

That makes sense! Hoping for something this week
