TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I relate to this as someone with 3 young brothers who cannot be quiet for longer than 2-3 mins. In my Weil VI, I had to give grad rec the heads up that there’d probs be background noise. It didn’t help that my neighbours had decided to begin house renovations at the same time either. So there...- Harvey Specter

It took c3 weeks for me. I applied mid Dec and got the test on Monday. Idk if Xmas and NY meant it took longer than usual though. I’m also a fiend for restructuring so hoping Akin or Weil work out!- Harvey Specter

If it helps I’m scheduled to take the stage 2 test as a TI on Thurs. They sent this to me in Nov and it took them 2 months just to arrange adjustments. I imagine ACs for DTC will be late Jan tbh…- Harvey Specter

Yeah I’m in a similar situation to you. I applied for the Weil VS early Nov and received the SJT and VI on 24/11. I sat the SJT on 14/12 and did the VI with early careers on 17/12. I’ve seen people applied after me and/or who took the test after me get sent PFOs so idek what to think tbh.- Harvey Specter

They said during my VI we’d hear back early Jan so if that’s still the case, we should hear by Friday (otherwise it’ll no longer be early Jan). They might have gotten loads of last minute apps though and esp cos of Xmas and NY, there might be some more delays in hearing back.- Harvey Specter

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I think it depends on people’s backgrounds too to some extent. It’s easier to apply to less firms when on paper you’re a pretty strong candidate (all As and A*s at GCSE, AAA or above A-levels, a gained or predicted high 2:1 or first from a top RG like Oxbridge/London RG/Durham/Warwick, a bunch...- Harvey Specter
