    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Can anyone kindly provide insights into assessment days that only consist of interviews? Davis Polk and Sullivan & Cromwell are examples of firms that do this. Does this make the process ‘easier’ or is it just as difficult as a typical assessment centre?

    Thanks Jess, that is interesting because the firm hasn’t implied that at all, unlike Latham. The Open Day is on the 20th and the deadline is the 12th, so let’s hope you’re right!

    I assume, like me, no one has still heard about either. I guess I should assume rejection for the first date?

    Latham Open Day rejection. That’s the 2nd one in a week. Idk how to maintain positivity for the vac scheme apps when I’m not considered good enough to get to know the firms.
