TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I know someone who interviewed after me who has received an offer from slaughters - should I prepare for a PFO?
I really think not to, the ppl I know who have gotten offers are people who insinuated in the interview that there were other offers hanging about so maybe they felt the need to expedite those decisions. And even if not, they may have a weird process where certain partners have been busier etc. just keep your head up! Im sure there will be good news!!

Omg so happy for others for getting Orrick’s WG second batch but is it because we did so bad in the first round?😭 I wonder what their benchmark is and how much the written application counts (they said they’ll be assessed in conjunction with the test results)
That’s literally what I was thinking since they didn’t do this last yr 😅
