    Hey, congrats! When was your first stage interview?

    Is this for the first stage interview? The first stage interview is more of a getting to know you interview, so as someone mentioned earlier just know your application really well and be prepared to develop on your application in further detail.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I applied in October for the winter vac scheme and never heard back! The portal hasn't been updated either. Not sure whether there is any point following up - I didn't email earlier because I heard somewhere that they might consider you for spring/summer if you haven't heard back but there's no...

    I did it back in November so can't remember much about it or the platform - sorry! Maybe someone who has done it more recently will have a better idea.

    I had all average, one below average and one above average and got rejected - since the application form does not have many written questions, I think a lot of the decision must be based on the test.

    Willkie said that it would take 15 days to assess all the written tests from the date of the last written one (which was today), so I expect we will hear back after two weeks! The written exercises are also marked by two people, so this will probably take a while.

    Ikr! The worst thing is I'll be refreshing my emails constantly and get nothing, but then I'll be in the middle of a class and get an email (had two rejections so far and both were in the middle of classes).

    I applied in November too and also haven't heard back - as far as I know I don't think anyone has heard back yet but could be wrong.

    Definitely varies a lot - I got mine 3 hours after I submitted the application.

    I applied for winter and they sent me an email saying that they were impressed with my application and would reconsider for Spring - but just received an email now with rejection. I guess they're clearing out all the remaining apps from winter to be ready for Spring?

    As far I as I know they won't send you the results of the WG unless you email Grad Rec - the document that arrives 24 hours after the test is the CAPP assessment feedback report. It just tells you what your three top strengths were and the area you scored lowest in!

    Same here but it seems you have to email Grad Rec to get the percentile result!
