TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Thank you I appreciate this a lot! I’m not used to writing cover letters as normally there are specific questions for each thing e.g., why do you want to pursue a career in commercial law or why x firm. Guess this makes things easier in that it is essentially the same thing. :)- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I think you can create a profile on vantage and add your details on there and then when you start applications it gives you the option of using the pre saved information that is on your profile to fill in the personal information and the educational sections of the application. The only things...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I am the same with every online test because I overthink each question and wonder whether any of my answer choices were correct. I guess you just have to trust your gut instinct with them :) I remember stressing over the HSF online test but then I somehow managed to pass that SJT. I don’t...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I did my test on Wednesday and just got my feedback report now so around 48 hours or so in terms of waiting for feedback. My strengths were adaptability, credibility and explainer. My only weakness in the report was learning agility.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I applied to Hogan Lovells just under two weeks ago and did my WGT over a week ago but haven’t yet heard anything as to whether it’s a PFO or AC. To be fair though today is the deadline day so maybe they are going to start sending out the AC decisions over the next few weeks (since most people...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
To be fair I imagine most applications are sent close to or on the deadline and so HL will most likely have only began making decisions on who to invite to AC over the last few days and will send out those decisions over the next few weeks. If your application is well researched and error free...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!
I’m not Gemma but I think I remember in one of Willkie’s application workshops it was mentioned that it’s marked holistically and that what matters is the content itself. Things like nerves are expected and will not affect the outcome of the VI as long as the answers themselves are clear (i.e...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I would normally choose 3 reasons and try to allocate an even word count to each one e.g., 100 words per reason. This is a good balance between explaining your motivation but writing it in a coherent and succinct way. If you feel that you will not be able to get your ideas across in that limit...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The turnaround is normally 10-15 working days but factoring in it was xmas/nye period I would say you can expect to hear back by the end of next week or the week after for sure (regardless of the outcome) as some people that applied close to the deadline are slowly hearing back now. 15 working...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Has anyone heard from HSF about the Summer VS and been invited to AC? I applied on 30th November and took the SJT on 3rd December (I passed the benchmark). Not sure if I should assume it’s a rejection.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
