    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I would say use your intuition. The word count on most of these application questions/CLs is intentionally very low, so you have to immediately get to the point and only write relevant things. Always ask yourself, 'Does this convey to Grad Rec why, among other things, I'm sure I want to be a...

    I wouldn't use this for this question in an application. The point of this question is to test whether you know what commercial law is and, more importantly, what a commercial lawyer does. This is, as you mention, a great opener for 'why law', but tangential for why commercial law which is more...

    HSF WVS offer!!! Unfortunately, the dates clash with my W&C WVS, so I am contemplating whether I should ask HSF to be moved to summer or spring, but I'll have to have some reason...Any ideas?

    Mine (two online assessments, a Situational Strengths Test and a Verbal Reasoning Test) arrived three weeks after submission, and I had a week to complete them.

    I agree with everything @Unknowncabbage said (especially the reason for the question- a way to demonstrate your interest and commitment to law), but I'd also add that crucially, the question does not stipulate any period such as "recent" or "within the last 12 months"; therefore, it is...

    Definitely one of the more challenging ACs, but I felt I nailed it.

    I think Ques 1 is like 'tell me a weakness'. You never actually want to tell them a weakness. You also don't want to be to obvious with the usual 'I'm a perfectionist...' I will PM you with how I answered that question on my VS AC. I could tell from the GR lady that she loved it.

    I don't need to read your entire collection of rules. Can you point me to a rule I've violated that the other people in this spat haven't?

    Some sites, like the lawyer portal, say within 48 hours; however, I attended an open day there last week and asked Jasmine Uppal this specific question. She mentioned that they do not send WG until they read your application, and they review apps on a rolling basis.

    So......you submitted your application for a SUMMER SCHEME on 22/10 and emailed less than two weeks later to ask where your WG is? 😂😂😂 Does that seem reasonable and rational to you? Some firms do not automatically send assessments. They review the application before sending it; HL is a firm...

    I understand the frustration, but what's the point? It's not like they have forgotten you. Just think how many people send these emails during a busy time for them. Do you think they would be more favourable to you if you're in that annoying pile that they have to respond with: "You'll hear back...

    On the W&C app, you have 3 choices based on your preference for a scheme, so I assume they are still filling all three schemes and considering how many they take each scheme, they are still filling spots and having interviews.

    Guys, no one here who actually wants a VC, and TC cares about this drama. If you disagree with what IneedaTCASAP said, that's fine; he is entitled to his opinion, and it's just that- one person's opinion. I just don't see the need to go back and forth about this non-issue when it is not the...
