    I also applied to the London office. Maybe I'll hear something after the interviews have been held then. Hopefully anyway!

    Ah strange, I've checked the portal and nothing on there either. Do you know what this might mean if I haven't had either? Do firms send out responses in batches or maybe at different times depending on the office? This is my first application cycle so I'm not sure!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hi does anyone have any advice at all going into a vacation scheme? My first one is coming up and I just don't know how to prepare! I have a good amount of knowledge on the firm and I'm working on improving my general commercial understanding but is there anything else I need to do?

    How did the SJT go for you? I was so thrown by the 500 word questions at the end!

    Does anyone know what scores are good on the Browne Jacobson SJT? It’s the first test I’ve done so I don’t really know what to expect based on my results!

    @Jessica Booker The deadline for a VI to be submitted is on the 7th. I've spent a lot of time preparing for the interview but its looking like the best day for me to complete it will be on the morning of the 7th due to work commitments. I don't want it to look like I have just forgotten about it...
