TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
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

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

They’ve made a lot of Spring and Summer offers (not all) since Nov and sent out PFOs, so I would email them to see where your app is. They’re still conducting first stage interviews and ACs. I’ve got the AC towards the end of Feb so they’re at least doing them until then. :)- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
