    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I agree with what Jessica has said, but I would also add that there are a couple of things you could talk about which are more specific and more current: ESG (specifically, the regulatory response to climate change, like the EU's Taxonomy Regulation); and the current state of the leveraged...

    To give an update, having spoken to grad recruitment it is apparently 1500.

    Anyone still waiting on Sidely to make any sort of contact at all? Kinda disappointed to be honest.

    I don't know, but I would guess that it would be very unlikely - their intake is so small.

    Who knows. I applied a week after you and haven't heard either. I don't think they adopt any sort of strict chronological approach. While they may state that they are rolling, it seems clear that they're giving offers out to those they want the most first.

    Pinsent Masons Character Limit Query

    Hi, On the Pinsents app the questions are stated as having a 1500 character limit, however, when entering an answer it becomes clear that the limit is in fact 2000. Has anyone got a view as to what is the correct number? I'm assuming it's the former.

    Did anyone's A&O review status change after they did the test? Mine's been the same day for a month now, about 3 days before I took the test (which I passed).

    How to prepare for A&O's numerical reasoning test?

    It's not really a numerical reasoning test, it's a SJT with a few numerical elements. My advice would be to just brush up on your basic arithmetic.

    I haven't heard back from Freshfields. To be honest it would be nice if they could just be clear about a rejection.

    I don't want to annoy them, so I may give it a few more days. I do find the lack of contact from Linklaters pretty strange though.

    First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

    I'm wondering at this point whether it's worth contacting them? Linklaters at least had a test, they must have rejected some people for not meeting the required score.
