TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[veek30]

hiii, any insight into the w&c written exercise would be dearly appreciated!! did you guys get a client memo, a more formal letter or something else? also, is it 75 mins or so? any other info would be suuuuper helpful (and congrats to everyone who has already gotten past this stage/gotten offers) !!

still no news either way from RPC post-AC and today's allegedly the last day they're getting back to people so I'm safe to assume it'll be a PFO after seeing people get offer calls throughout this week rip

 

[Jojo25]

Has anybody heard from Boodle Hatfield post application? (not sure whether to mark it as a pfo)

 

[kysharsh]

Do you think offers are coming out in batches, and the ones that have already came out are for people who needed an answer because they had offers for multiple schemes?

I honestly couldn't tell you what's going on behind the scenes but yeah the person who got the offer last week did have multiple offers so it could be that in all fairness.

Hi all - hope everyone’s staying sane during application season. Was wondering if anyone had heard back from Covington post AC? Thank you!

hey was this for the DTC

Hey I applied for DTC and got an email yesterday requesting for contextual info, did you get this as well?

I got post-AC rejection for TLT & Walker Morris today. I really love & admire your attitude! It is highly motivating, and it does only take one yes, that is absolutely correct

Have you booked the feedback call? I have - I think I know where I went wrong, but I want to find out if they noticed the things that I thought were bad, or if it's something different entirely.

RPC rejection post AC this was my first in person AC, I learnt a lot, gonna keep on pushing!

For Gibson Dunn and Dechert probably not worth waiting but I think for MoFo as they’ve only just began interviews it’s probs too early to assume a PFO. Not sure for Linklaters at all tbh.​

Links are an interesting one. Their holding email way back when said that it was ACs only in January and Feb (for Summer), but I emailed GR earlier this week asking about the status of my application (as it has been ages and I was in the 90+ percentile for WG), and they said they are still looking at applications.

How much I believe it is one thing, but taking it at face value, it's not a PFO just yet if they haven't got back to you.
