TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I saw a few people mention they had interviews for Paul Hastings and I read somewhere they acc don’t send PFOs they only contact people if they are invited to interview or to the AC. Someone who recently got the Dechert AC posted on the forum that Dechert have wrapped up Spring ACs but are...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Hmm probs more so I found the questions harder than other WGs I did, but I’m sure others will have found the Orrick WG super easy. 🤷🏾♂️- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

It’s a WG on steroids but maybe I’m biased cos me and the WG don’t get along at all it seems… :( I’m alr assuming it’s a PFO for Orrick cos there’s no way I’m passing that WG at all lmao.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

If bank station has 1,000 haters, I’m one of them. If bank station has 1 hater it’s me. If bank station has 0 haters, I’m no longer around… If bank station no longer exists, I’ll be happy… That station has to be the most confusing place to exist. It’s literally like a maze with exits going in...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

They sent some ACs at the end of Jan but idk if they’re all the ACs and the rest of us are sat here like melons waiting forever for the PFO, or if they are still considering more apps for AC. I’m gna go with the former, so assuming PFO. I spent a week on that app, went to their open day too so...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

This lowkey reminds me of when it took me 45 mins to find the entrance to Akin’s office for the AS open day… tell me why I kept going in circles doing laps around the building looking like a lost, clueless puppy trying to find its owner… it really is way too difficult navigating London as a...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I’d assume it’s probs 1,600 apps for the VS, 160 get to VI, 80 get to the AC, 40 VS slots, 10 TCs. Then for the DTC route, maybe 400 apps, 40 get to the VI, 20 get to the AC and then 4/5 TCs. This is just a rough estimate idk the acc numbers but they do get c2,000 apps per year for VS/TCs.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Ngl I was under the impression that quality over quantity was the way to go, until I made it to the Orrick WG cos I wrote that entire app, including researching and everything, in like 6-7 hours spread across 2 days lmao. The app had like 5 questions too so it was quite long… Meanwhile I spent...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The worst one is when someone posts something so you want to react with “🤝” only to end up accidentally pressing “📥” and then it’s a race against the clock to quickly unlike the post with “📥” and swap it for “🤝” before they see it and think you’re being unsupportive…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

To add to this I think they mentioned at the open day they offer 5 TCs per scheme so 10/14 offers are given to VS’ers and the remaining 4 TCs are generally given to Direct TC candidates. Ofc this can change but this is what grad rec said at the open day so it’s like a 25% chance of conversion...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I believe there’s between 90 and 100 places on the open days (3 open days with c30 people per open day) and from these they take up to 45 for VSs. So that’s pretty much like a 50% chance. But it’s a lot more difficult to convert the VS to a TC cos I think they only offer c10 TCs out of 45 VS’ers…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
