TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Tbf the grad rec person was picking up on a lot of the things I said, giving her follow up thoughts so it was quite conversational in that sense. Also at the end I had the chance to ask questions. I asked 3 and she gave really detailed answers those took about 10 mins combined. Even for...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Akin PFO post TI. A bit disappointed cos I thought the TI went reasonably well. I’m thinking it’s cos it went over by 20 mins. They said it should be 25 mins mine was 45… I applied 15 Dec, sat the SJT and WG on 5 Jan, got the TI on 8 Jan and sat the TI 22 Jan. Lowkey think Weil is gna be a...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Debevoise & Plimpton AC! I’m surprised cos I don’t even meet their minimum requirements for A-levels (AAA whereas I’ve got ABB)… I applied quite close to the deadline and I believe I ticked both spring and summer. They’ve given me a week to accept (5th Feb). Idk what to expect.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Bruh if an internal paralegal of 2-3 years can’t pass the AC what hope is there for us regulars if we make it to their AC. This lowkey sounds like it’s Macfarlanes but I’m probs wrong. Imagine all the paralegals grafting their AC prep and after 3 long years of hard work the partner says:- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I get where you’re coming from but I feel like it’s the right message wrong messenger. Cos you’ve also posted something quite similar recently. It’s ironic for you to say our posts were tone deaf yet you’d done 3 ACs last cycle and secured 2 TC offers post VS/DTC yet posted the below. You...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

This might not be super accurate but at their open day earlier in this cycle grad rec had said they’d received around 5,000 apps last year and invited the top 10% so around 500 to AC. From those the firm invited around 100-130 to do a VS and made around 60 TC offers. So I imagine that it’s 1 in...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

There’s also the added pressure of not knowing whether you’ll convert the 1 VS you already have so feel the need to do well on other ACs to make the TC conversion chances somewhat stronger. I can only speak for myself but I’m alr bricking it and I’ve only gotten 2 ACs so far. This process is...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
