TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
It would seem they do everything in batches, looking back through the thread there's always a few WGs at a time, then VIs at a time, then a few ACs at a time etc. I would imagine now it's the deadline though they might just do everyones?- wqueens8

No definitely I was exactly the same, still am a little bit! You hear all the statistics of 1% success rates and it does panic you. On my scheme for me it was realising that I was only a second year. Almost everyone was a graduate, so many were years and years postgrad. One or two in their...- wqueens8

Personally I think you have to go after what you want! I was almost in this position. I had a vac scheme last year for a great firm, but it was in a regional office. The scheme itself was okay, but I realised this office didn't offer most of the practice areas I wanted to do, the pay was...- wqueens8

Is it bad for me to mention IP as one of 3 reasons "Why HSFK?" It's something I've got a good deal of experience in (to evidence why im interested in it), and it is something they're very strong in. They even have an IP open day. I just don't wanna take any chances of them being like "Well you...- wqueens8

Hey everyone, one of the questions on hogan lovells app is "Tell us about any experiences outside of your work and study that have allowed you to develop skills that are relevant to this role" So I take it from this I should not be speaking about anything in my part time roles, or in my...- wqueens8

Some might! I unfortunately got rejected, but if I was accepted I would’ve had to decline now as I’ve started a new job and it’s too short notice to have a week off.- wqueens8

This will depend on firms. The vast majority will ask for your grades in percentages. Being that they will assume 50-59 = 2:2, 60-69 = 2:1, and 70+ = 1st. Many firms will have an additional question however asking what classification you’re on track for? Or sometimes just are you on track for...- wqueens8

turning down a regional TC?
Hey all, First of all I’ll preface by saying this is premature, and I do not actually have the TC offer. But I am on a vacation scheme where the offer rate is 90-100% for my office, and a TC is likely, so this has been playing on my mind a bit and I’m looking for thoughts. My reasons for...- wqueens8

Ignoring other factors like diversity and business etc, i'm really debating over this for my next cycle. I'm from near the peak district and could easily work in Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds. If it's 40k vs 100k then it's London no brainer. But for the higher paying firms like DLA piper, I'm...- wqueens8
