TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

can you submit an application with the same personal details but different email address? I've heard ppl do this before but question the legitimacy and success rate

Yeah if you're dumb enough to risk your whole career by getting reported to the SRA and blacklisted.

 

[tc2026]

anyone heard from HL re DTC?

I’m waiting on spring, which scheme are you waiting on?

Summer. I actually mistakenly chose summer, but If progressed will ask nicely to be moved to spring 🥹

I think people are getting pfo’s as well as ACs, but the later you submitted, the later the AC.

Another day of silence and crickets from firms. My inbox has been dry as hell smh.

The main question I have is why would someone be submitting an application twice?

Like you see that declaration form at the end of an application, it mentions the SRA and honesty too much for my liking to try applying somewhere twice in the same cycle with a different email.

Genuinely starting to hear voices.

Hi, anyone have notes from the Travers Smith Legal Cheek session earlier tonight? Pls DM if yes, really appreciate it!!!

I’m not sure, I think I saw someone say they had an AC invite and applied around the deadline? Although I might be mistaken (empty inbox is making me delirious)

 

[switchingup]

I love how you structure your updates! I hope you hear positive news soon!

Thank you! 💖

You guys need to relax with inbox being empty. It's only been 3 days since people have been back to work. Also grad recruitment are handling the new January trainee cohort and other things also. Maybe watch a movie or watch the sesson finale of stranger things whilst waiting for law firms. Sorry if this is salty or harsh.

Letting you guys know that the Clyde & Co online test is not automatic. I would know because I received a PFO today post-app, and the reason given was because I do not meet the requirements to apply.

Also a heads up to those looking to apply to Clyde & Co, they are strict on grade requirements. I have CBB in A Levels but attend an RG target university, with a 2:1 in my first year, but I was still rejected because of my A-level grades.

I get your point and you’re right but no one is emailing grad rec or pestering them to reply asap😂, everyone is simply anxious and this process is exhausting so the inbox thing is just a light hearted joke

Could anyone who attended the Travers Smith x Legal Cheek talk today PM me any notes - I was at work and would be super grateful xx

People in this forum have actually emailed grad recruitment to try and get a response faster (or at least asked about it).
