    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Thanks, I hope so! I applied for the winter schemes. For W&C my first choice was winter, followed by Summer and Spring. If you’ve applied for summer then I definitely would not assume PFO yet. For example with Baker McKenzie, a lot of people for the spring scheme have started to hear back but...

    Just did Reed Smith SJT/VI… excelled in verbal and scored in the middle for numerical. Scored 7,4,4,3 for the pillars lmao. VI could’ve gone a bit better but the questions were hard! So much to pack within 2 minutes and I think I froze at one point (not the screen, me) 😂😭 Gonna try to forget...

    For those waiting to hear back from CMS post WG.. if you haven’t heard back yet then I’d assume it is a good thing for now. I did the WG and received PFO the next day as I didn’t reach the benchmark. Hang in there!

    Don’t mind me, just out here twiddling my thumbs. Barely heard anything over the past few weeks- probably because I applied way before the deadlines. I received a PFO from AO Shearman earlier this week but not surprised at all, I did terribly! I have applied to and waiting to hear back from: •...

    CMS PFO post WG. I took the test on Monday so I must’ve done really bad for them to reject me 2 days later. This test will be the end of me, why don’t I get it 😭😭 I’ve been trying so hard to understand the logic but clearly a lot of it is not clicking. Argh!

    I applied to Linklaters WVS but was rejected. Am I still eligible to still apply for the 2027/2028 TC? If so, can I re-take the 2 tests or are they valid for a year like CC? The website isn’t very clear and the training contract deadline forum on here doesn’t specify anything so I am assuming I...

    Hey! I did, yes. And yes you can submit VI questions after going away from the platform. It’s a 2 minute response per question! I think there was 3. Best of luck!
