    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi Jessica, thanks for your response. So I asked the firm who has invited me, and they have no flexibility. In your opinion, will asking the firm I have a VS with if it is possible to take a day off hurt my chances when they assess me for a TC? Also, when asking, should I be honest and say I've...

    I've got a vac scheme in the summer, and just received an invite for an assessment day for a TC from another firm which is during the scheme. My question is, does anyone know whether a firm will allow you to take a day off during a vac scheme for a good reason?

    Congrats me too! I'm also wondering what it's about, but looking at a previous post it was about writing a letter/e-mail

    Has anyone with a vac scheme with Shearman and Sterling had any further communication with the firm? I haven't heard from them since submitting my documents.

    So I've got a vac scheme in the summer, and just sent over some documents that the firm asked for a few days ago. I haven't heard back from them acknowledging receipt of the documents. I'm wondering whether I should follow up with them to ask whether what I sent over was okay, and also from...

    Just a quick question, I have a VI to do for Clyde and Co. If it says I have until the 7th January to complete it, does that mean I can do it on the 7th or no? Thanks!

    Scenario-based questions

    Just had a question if anyone could be of any help! I have a VI coming up that's focused on scenario-based questions.

    Feeling Lost

    So I had an interview last week for a vac scheme, and got a rejection today. I'm feeling lost and dejected because I thought it went so well, only to get this result.
