TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Do you know if they’ve already started acs for summer?

I think so, yes! I am not 100% but I think last week was the final ac week for spring (or this may be the last spring week), so I assume summer AC's are starting either now or in the coming weeks

Applied on deadline - P,W summer PFO. Did anybody get an email telling them to reapply next year? It was in my friend's mail, but not in mine 🫠

Yeah:

"Thank you for your application to the Paul, Weiss Vacation Scheme. We were impressed by the calibre of applicants this year and enjoyed learning more about your background and achievements.

After careful consideration, we regret that we will not be progressing your application at this time. This decision was not made lightly and reflects the highly competitive nature of the selection process.

We encourage you to apply again in the next cycle, which opens in September.

Thank you again for your interest in Paul, Weiss. We wish you the very best in your future endeavours and hope to receive an application from you next year"

Yeah that’s so backhanded lol

Paul, Weiss PFO. That leaves only 7 firms I still have "live" applications for.

I simply don't know what's going wrong, only 2 people in my university got a higher score than me in my degree, and I have all distinctions in my law conversion as well. I put a lot of effort into these apps as well. I just don't know what more I could really be doing at this point, just how much luck do you need??

hey im essentially in the same boat here (not the score tho, that's super impressive!)

cant really answer your questions but just know ur not alone : )

Does anyone know if Browne Jacobson's test has a video element or requires camera to be on? I'm currently very comfy and don't feel like getting dressed for a camera 😅

 

[K@ps2701]

Anyone heard back from Linklaters? Heard people have gotten ACs/VS, but I've not been asked to PFO/AC.

 

[FoodieMcFoodieBigBack]

anyone heard back from ahsurst post ac or know when we can expect to

I was at their last AC and gradrec said we can expect to hear either end of this week or start of next week

 

[lividowl03]

Any other final years secured a spring vac scheme? Super happy obviously but increasingly thinking I should have applied for summer. I was really keen to get a TC before graduating, but now my diss is due like 5 days after the end of the scheme, and it is stressing me outttt

 

[c3alg]

has anyone heard from mischon (summer) post sjt?

 

[Hinkle_dinkle]

Have simmons stopped giving out vac offers post-AC?

 

[BuddyingLawyer744]

How long after Dechert WE does it take to hear back?

 

[tc2026]

hey does anyone have advice for HL stage 2? please! theres a video element? is it similar to latham?

 

[Novaa]

I think so, yes! I am not 100% but I think last week was the final ac week for spring (or this may be the last spring week), so I assume summer AC's are starting either now or in the coming weeks

Omggg it’s almost showtime!! 😭😭😭

MISHCON PULL THROUGHHHH!!

 

[tc2026]
