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

[Rob93]

I applied for the Winter Vacation Scheme as I remember. Can they roll me over without informing? Or should I just email them?

No harm in emailing them.

got BM WG invite just now (summer VS, applied on 15th Dec)
I suppose they don't pre-screen for WG?

I applied to them on the same day yet I still haven’t heard back from them 😔

Just received Simmons and Simmons VI + tests - Does anyone know what type of questions they ask? I have searched the TCLA forums but there are not any specific details?

How do you input education for DLA? Specifically A Levels? As the form where you input is more tailored to degree level

Hi I’m a brand ambassador for the firm & they do pre-screen before sending the Watson Glaser.

Slightly different scenario but my education including undergrad was overseas and didn't fit the form, spoke to grad rec and they said to just stick it on my CV. Suspect this would suffice for A levels as well if there isn't a suitable input on their form.

So does pre-screen mean that they do not look at the answers for the questions. Im guessing they just look at grades and work experience?

No they review your application completely before sending WG. They then review your application & WG further in combination to decide whether to send a video interview

Anyone still not heard from Baker McKenzie post application for Summer VS?

I haven't received a WG invite from CMS since applying a week ago, should I assume a PFO? Considering I've heard of people getting their WG two days after applying?
