    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Does an email from HSF saying ‘application under review’ mean I passed the test? I saw from previous comments some people got emails saying whether they passed or not but I didnt get anything?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Can anyone provide any experiences they've had with the Travers Smith interview process? It looks to be very unique with the moral/ethical debate interview style without any actual assessments and Im not sure how to interpret the hardship levels of this style of interview and application...

    a few people were rejected in spring from the vs so there should be at least a few spaces (not that that would fill me with too much hope), but at base level they didn't offer every spring schemer a tc.

    I reckon theyve waitlisted quite a few people and will reconsider when they see how the vac schemers get on. An acquaintance at Bakers said she found out 6 weeks after her AC that she got it so I’m clinging to whatever little hope I have lol

    Hi - does anyone know if Cleary Gottlieb recruits on a rolling basis for TC ? From memory from the insight day I’m pretty sure they recruit mainly from their vac schemes and only take in people for direct TCs if they have any left over from the vac scheme.

    At this point I feel like they’ll start sending responses when they see how the vac schemers progress… the scheme started today

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I dont think *overwhelminly most* people on the vac scheme got offers either, which is why I think there's bound to be more people from direct TCs, especially since they increased the number of trainees this year. I spoke to a 1st seater from bakers a while back who said her cohort for direct...

    yeah the spring schemers got theirs over a month ago Idk, seems strange to run 5 ACs with 8-12 people each with only few people mentioning a TC offer but maybe I’m too optimistic

    For a cohort of 40 trainees across 2 vac schemes and 1 direct TC application route consisting of 5 assessment centres, I dont know if it’s reasonable to assume 3 people getting TCs on 1 day means everyone else automatically got rejected already

    I got my AC invite over 10 days after they initially started handing out invites. I dont think they do these things in batches tbh
