TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Does anyone know how long the Hogan Lovells Gold base scheme last?

Heyy, did you hear back from Hogan Lovells regarding the Gold BaSE program???

 

[justhangingout]

That's a fair point actually! Early Oct feels like v. early in the grand scheme of things..but Links is non rolling anyway!

I am not discounting anything rn, as we haven't heard back!

Has anyone actually been invited to an AC or do they invite people after reviewing all applications?

I emailed and they said "We are in the process of reviewing applications, so will be in contact in the next few weeks to advise on the next steps." but I have a feeling that is just what they say until all places are officially filled...

Bit mean they're leaving us hopeful for this long!

No I haven’t heard back

Hi, is the WG the next stage of the process? Or do they look at the app again in context of WG scores?

See below

I applied on the 19th October and then got my WG on the 21st October! They review your app before they give you a WG

Anyone who received the Mayer Brown tests yesterday, have you been able to complete them? I logged onto my portal yesterday and there were no outstanding tests to do.
What do I do?

Linklaters PFO lol

 

[AAA_a]

lol What do Linklaters want exactly? I feel like there isn't a way to "improve" on Capp assessment.

 

[justhangingout]

[Rob93]

Thanks! I thought it's more like the Hogan Lovells system- where they initially review before sending WG, and then re- review it again in light of the score. But maybe not then? (My email says WG is the "next stage" of the process)

 

[ZaraB]

Likewise! Have emailed them about this. Happy to give them a call if it's easier for them

How does one improve in CAPP anyway? What are they even looking for? I scored really high on WG and have been failing CAPP for two years now

 

[mckelly]

How many people have had Latham VIs?

Does anyone know how many words is appropriate for W&C's cover letter? Is 900 too many?

What strengths did you get it might be due to that.

Mine was 870 ish and I proceeded to the next stages so I think 900 is okay as long as everything is in there for a reason. They are really hot on finding sentences that did not need to be there - it is a reason for the no word count.
