TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I finally got a post-application rejection from Linklaters at 14:48. So much for my 97th percentile Watson-Glaser score 😂 "However, this doesn't have to be the end of the road and we would encourage you to re-apply next year" bro/sis I ain't glazing you again 💅- simplyfaith

Ropes & Gray post-app rejection at 9:44. It was a meme application, though, so I'm not awfully surprised If Linklaters doesn't get back to me by EOD I don't even want the spring vac anymore 🤣- simplyfaith

Some younger people straight from school can be surprised when meeting someone of a different age alongside them for the first time. Most know it's to be expected at this stage and might just be making conversation, but a few might not know how to react and end up being awkward about it. I've...- simplyfaith

You're right, that is on the expensive side! Generally speaking, most Logitech USB webcams and mics should be miles better than integrated laptop parts. Things like the C920 or Yeti Orb. I'd definitely check raw footage on youtube to make sure you'd be happy with the product, though. Either way...- simplyfaith

Funny you mention that, actually. I used to stream on Twitch, so I have the whole setup and am comfortable recording myself!

Goodwin post-VI rejection at 09:45, 41 days later 😔 This one was important to me, so I shall indulge in a small morsel of a rant. I could've sworn I nailed it, but now, it feels like I wasn't worth speaking with a real person. I don't even get told why. I went to a world-class business school...- simplyfaith

Current 2025 application cycle progress. I boldly applied to only 10 competitive firms. I'm also working on a personal project related to economics while I wait for them to get back to me.

I'm going to say this isn't the case, on the basis that they put a lot of emphasis on wanting to develop a strong pathway from trainee to partnership. While this was mainly from the perspective that it fosters stronger teams compared to lateral hiring, I think it also demonstrates a commitment...- simplyfaith
