TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Coming in on this late 😅 but if you think an adjustment will be helpful, I think it’s worth asking, they can then consider whether or not it is something they can do. I would also consider messaging @Jessica Booker as she may be able to advise based on your specific needs. I have previously...- Z48

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
On their website they ask for a 2.1, it doesn’t mention strong or high, so I can’t imagine they are as strict as some other firms. Also from chambers student: “Director of Administration Halina Kasprowiak tells us: “We don’t have any kind of automatic sifting criteria.” She goes on to say that...- Z48

I think it’s an assumption. There are less people applying to regional offices but they also have less spaces, so proportionally the competition could be similar. But I’m not 100% sure!- Z48

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
You can always ask but be prepared for them to say no. Some people apply to regional offices thinking it’ll be less competitive then try to switch to London and firms are aware of this. But if your circumstances have genuinely changed I don’t think there’s harm in asking (someone else might have...- Z48

From the website the SJT is just for direct TC applicants. It looks like for the VS it’s just the WG then AC. In previous years they sent the WG in batches so I’d say it could still be positive news- Z48

I read it as just the cover letter, but I don’t think you have to fill the 2 pages (last year mine was about 1.5 pages and I got through to the VI)- Z48

NRF lets you apply again if you didn't make it to the AC, their FAQs say: "If you’ve taken part in an assessment day and were unsuccessful, please wait 12 months from the date of your original application before reapplying. However, if you were unsuccessful at the application stage you can...- Z48

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Last year at the Legal Cheek law fair, I asked if I could apply during my final year, and they said I could, as long as I clearly explained my plans for the gap year in my cover letter. So I assume as a graduate, if you can show what you’re doing in the meantime, you can apply. But I’m not 100%...- Z48

I think you can just be honest and say you thought it was due today as you didn’t know weekends were included as ‘working days’. The worst that can happen is they say no, I’d say it’s worth trying- Z48

I put the 4 most relevant (I still put them in chronological order) and did full paragraphs in the other box. *when I say relevant I mean in terms of skills, e.g. I put a non law related hospital job as there was more to show than a legal open day.- Z48
