    I’m also yet to hear but I think ACs would’ve been for their fast tracked candidates from first year schemes, open days etc

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hi I’m afraid I don’t know as I think I was an earlier AC date and only got two options for dates (when I know they’ve ran more since), third week of February would be next week and I had less than a weeks notice for my AC so you might still have a chance if they’re running next week!

    Agreed! I also think what better way to show your interest and passion in this industry than becoming a law influencer somewhere like LinkedIn! Fair play to anyone who puts in that commitment because it really does get you noticed positively

    Travers smith sent a very explicit email response in the receipt of application message, saying they would be taking February to review all applications so I don’t think you need to worry about them at all

    I was told at the AC to expect news in the third week of February as they would only decide on offers after all ACs were complete

    At least you took the test I’m still waiting for that 😂 I know people who did the spring scheme last year who did their AC in end Feb/early March with a weeks notice so I would imagine summer scheme also has late ACs too hahaha

    I’m still waiting too, AG definitely run some later ACs so I think we could be on hold whilst they go through the assessments and decide the first couple waves of ACs

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Can’t speak specifically but often firms only give candidates a certain time frame to book in! One of my firms only gave me two dates but I know they are completing ACs still after the dates I was given. But if the firm has given a time frame for offers explicitly that would be the timeline to...

    I’ve never done it myself but I’ve seen on this forum and grad rec mentioned at my AC for a firm if you need to have a result sooner rather than later you can contact them for an update but it’s not a guarantee they will have one eg if it’s a firm that complete their ACs and then decide on vac...

    Unsure, sometimes it’s just how a firm responds eg Bird & Bird said that in my rejection but people got WG invite the same day. Suppose we just hold out hope??
