TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

thanks Ashurst for attaching CV advice by targetjobs the way law firms have treated applicants following rejections has really made me dislike them. Why is it so hard to use the AI they use to at least tell me what they’re looking for in the online test?????????

The wait post AC is excruciating. Focusing on uni and my part time work, but it’s still so hard not to fret.

hi everyone, just hoping to get some advice - hopefully this doesn't seem super out of touch (and thank you so much to everyone on this forum who has given me advice!!!!!) I've accepted 2 vac scheme offers, but last week received a direct TC offer (at a dream firm) which I've accepted. What do I do about the vac schemes? I know the normal answer is check the contracts etc. There is nothing I can see in any of the contracts that actually stops me from doing the vac schemes, but I am concerned it is bad form. Does anyone have any advice for this?

I guess the question is why you’d do the vac schemes. Is there a chance of you wanting a TC with one of those firms?

Thank you! will wait in suspense…

 

[hxnnahrobinson]

congrats! may i ask when you did the AC and how long it took you to hear back?

 

[Madison Pinewall]

Idk!

 

[Madison Pinewall]

For those waiting for SM, I think they technically can keep us in suspense until at least the end of next week legitimately. So don't spend all day thinking about it!
