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

[F99]

You automatically pass the WG stage if you’ve previously applied to the firm and passed the WG stage.
So if you have, congratulations!!!

Congrats 🥳 are you automatically through to the AC or do they have to wait for everyone else to complete their WGs?

A&O PFO post passing SJT

Hi! May I ask when you applied? I submitted mid September and still not heard!

I submitted around 2 weeks ago. Have you done the SJT yet?

Hi! Yes I have submitted the SJT and passed it which scheme did you apply for? Weirdly, I got completely ghosted by A&O last cycle after the SJT (didn't even get a rejection until I submitted my new app)

Sorry to hear that was this for the vacation scheme or training contract?

Guys for CC Laura said today at the event that everyone would have received an application update today. Also waiting to hear from CC bear with them as their grad recruitment were in the Grow event today all day.

I haven't heard either but mentally prepping myself for ghosting/PFO if everyone heard back today

Hi! Might be a stupid question but CC apps close at midnight on 9th December 2021.

Does that mean that the day of 9th is included and apps only close on 11:59 PM UK time on 9th?

999 times out of 1000 it will mean 23.59 on the date stated.

No. They said that I should hear back early next week if I’m through to the AC so we’ll see.

Yh, already prepped myself after receiving the 'profile of interest but no WG yet' email this morning. But stay positive guys, you honestly never know

Was for the vacation scheme. September is a long time but it’s not a PFO until you receive one and I’m sure it’s different for TCs.

Luckily I’m not really phased, I’m not really even sure why I applied to A&O it’s definitely not my preferred firm!

It’s a shame that they don’t even look at your application and simply benchmark your SJT against associates at the firm though. You can tell they’re looking for a very specific type of candidate.

Does anyone know what this email from Clifford Chance means:

"your profile is of interest and your application is under further consideration. You will not be sent the Watson Glaser test for the moment"

Unsure why they wouldn't send the test?

 

[hopefullylaw2000]

Has anyone had an update from CC yet ?

 

[lawyering]

Does anyone know if you need to complete HSF's tests before the deadline?

I think we’ll likely hear by the end of next week depending on how many people pass the WG test :/

I understand why people would say that getting the ‘profile of interest’ email this morning was somehow positive, but it was quite disappointing for me. It’s so disheartening being the second choice. Well, all of this is assuming we are actually on a reserve/maybe list. Sorry everyone for my little rant 😅🤣

Yeah I asked this to GR, they said yes.

Clyde PFO for wvs just came; what a surprise😂

 

[atrumregina1]

I just got the PFO from Clyde post VI for WVS. I kinda knew it given the fact that the VS starts next week
Oh well 🤷‍♀️

I fully agree, it doesn’t really instil much confidence if we were to make it to an assessment stage as i would feel like a second choice. Maybe that’s just me being negative though 😂😂
