TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

During pre-VS screening, do they usually just check that you actually attended the uni, or all your grades?

what's the scene with W&C?

I received a Summer VS offer today, so they are definitely still sending out offers.

Has anyone heard from Dentons

 

[hopefulforatc]

I don’t think they’ve gotten back to anyone to be fair. I haven’t seen anyone receive anything yet so far.

I applied for the London Scheme and a lot of people got the VI but I did not hence I assumed it could be a rejection. I applied for the July scheme I do not know if they have sent VIs for the July scheme.

Hey guys! Does anyone have resources on how to do well in presentations? Thanks a bunch

 

[Jessica Booker]

I did not mention the employer on my CV or in any screening checks. Just pretended I never worked there. Will that be fine?

You should really be disclosing any employment during the time period they have asked for, but if you haven't provided details at any point in the process, they won't have any details to contact them.

Thank you! I will follow this for next time. I was scared it will give off a bad impression.

I had an AC on 26th March. Still haven’t heard back, apart from a mail last week saying they’re still finalising offers. Do firms usually take this long? Or should I still have some hope 🥲

 

[JLaw56]

Can anyone help me, how to find a particular law firm’s competitor? What aspects should I take into account?

 

[Law10]

Is it fine to use the same examples that I used in my application form when answering questions in a competency based interview?

 

[PlscanIhaveaTC]

has anyone heard back from HD?

 

[Cherikon]

When asked a question like 'Why did you choose this career path/this job' that is phrased quite broadly, should I then turn to explaining why TC at this firm or why commercial law or both?

I had an AC on the 4th of March and only received my offer yesterday. If you haven’t received a rejection then you’re still in the running!

 

[Legalregal]

Has anyone found any decent London accommodation for their VS?

 

[SR99]

Do we assume PFO if we haven't heard back from Browne Jacobson post-TI at this point On the phone they said they'd let us know by last friday

I had my AC on 26th March and haven't heard back yet either. Hopefully we will hear back soon!

I believe they still have more AC invites to send

 

[BrunoLevi]

Anyone heard back after Mayer Brown AC?

i thought they'd give feedback at that stage? so we should hear back something right?

They will get back to us regardless of outcome. There will be no feedback tho as its only second stage.
