    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    was this for a vac scheme or direct TC application? i knew a few average students that made it to vac scheme, but from the direct TC route none were average students.

    yep... which is why not even making it to TI is confusuing. TI is basically just an extension of the application. How does one satisfy their requirements to attend 2 events with them (which they even reimbursed me for, so they literally wasted money on me), but somehow that doesnt transalte...

    Freshfields seems to be open to anyone that satisfies the 2.1 requirement. But I'm literally certain about Slaughter at this point - nobody I know that got a TC offer has below a First class honours degree from my uni (and a lot of people got offers this and last year)

    you too, it's really stressful and time-consuming :( on top of uni/work it's honestly borderline inhumane how much we are expected to give for a sliver of a chance at even being considered.

    Every single person I know in my Uni (top Russel Group) that got a TC offer from Slaughter and A&O all had 1st class degrees (many non-law). Literally none got less than that from the ones I know. I'm not even bothering to apply with my high 2:1. Not worth the waste of time to get rejected

    yeah I know, it's just always frustrating when you spend hours on something (and even travel for it) but oh well 1100 applications for 14 places is bound to be a trainwreck for most lol

    No I really don't - I meant I didn't even make it to a TI and it's frustrating Is rudeness your best personality trait 'brudda' :) better things to focus your time on

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Genuinely curious - how does Skadden decide if you 'score' high enough? I was extended offers to both their Open Day and Insight Evening and I referred to both in my application (and used the tips from them to apply). How do I make it to both of those but don't even get a TI for the Vac Scheme -...

    Hi all - anyone that applied between 10-15th Dec for Skadden - have you got TI interviews yet, and how long have they given you to prepare beforehand?

    I've been wondering as well, they said to expect a decision in April at the AC but I've met several people who already have VS offers :/

    Anyone heard back from Forsters? I now know of several people who have secured places already, one person 2 weeks ago, even though Grad Rec said to expect an answer in April

    I am (Forsters! I was on the first AC on Monday (28 Feb) and I specifically remember Emma Cooper (HR) saying we can expect to wait until April for an outcome, which is why I was shocked to see someone on LinkedIn get a vac scheme offer!

    Hey all, just saw someone on LinkedIn got their offer for the Forsters vac scheme - has anyone else heard back? It's been 2 weeks + 3 days since my AC and I was on the first AC of the cycle (Monday, Feb 28)
