TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Anyone heard from Mayer brown?

It’s Rolling but you won’t hear bk till after deadline. You will get the test soon (grad rec said it is done manually), but no decisions will be made till after the deadline.

They said everyone will get the test but if they were unimpressed with your app, they won’t be looking at your test. 🫩🫩

Just sat the Freshfields test! Can someone confirm what the stages are for their vacation scheme? If you meet the benchmark for the test.. is it straight to AC or...?

Is it an SJT and a WG or just a WG? Thank you!

has anyone heard from Milbank post-submission (confirmation of application receipt aside)

when did you apply?

 

[zxkwok]

That’s really good so it should be, what traits did you get on your sjt?

I just got my WG score from Links in the 83rd percentile. Does anyone know if that is high enough to make it to AC?

Hi! How did you find out your WG scores?

Hi! How did you find out your WG scores?

Hi!

If I remember correctly, I believe that you have to email the graduate recruitment team and they will provide you with your score within a few weeks

Hi! How did you find out your WG scores?

You have to email them and ask for it, is everyone’s linklaters profile at 70%?

Anyone else find it horrible to have to wait so long to find out if you failed a WG or a test? Surely they already know if I met a benchmark score two weeks ago😅

I'm sorry to hear this, please don't give up - this years application is harder than last years, new questions and format. Even the A/C and the internship itself is different

Just been a non-stop spell of rejections this week. Hoping for some good news soon

Is anyone receiving an error message when trying to complete the CMS Watson glaser. I’ve tried multiple browsers and emailed support but im hoping someone has an easy fix? I work full time so would really need to get this done over the weekend.
