TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
For mine I did prose cos that’s what most firms seem to prefer. I think consistency matters though so if you use bullet points make sure that it’s like that for each entry so it isn’t haphazard! I imagine it also depends on what it is too. Things like open days, insight events or forages...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

No ano it’s atrocious. Whoever decided to approve of this format needs to give their head a good shake and wobble ngl. It’s so bad omg… The worst part is everytime I tried to log back in it wouldn’t accept my password. I entered my email for a new one and it refused to send a link… Eventually...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Back again to ask if anyone else has heard back from FF post VI or Sidley post app. It’s been 78 and 77 days respectively which is insane. 😬 If I had a quid for each time I’ve asked this question I’d have 30 quid, which isn’t a lot, but it’s for sure a sign that I’m turning into a parrot. 🦜- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Harvey’s Horror Story (TC journey edition) 👻 🎃
I was initially planning on sending around 20 apps but seeing how many PFOs I was getting it felt right to ramp up the numbers slightly! But I’m still ensuring that each app is of quality or at least as high quality as I can get it. If I get a TC anytime soon I won’t send all these apps...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Dechert sent summer WEs from as far back as Jan. I’m pretty sure cos I got mine in Jan as one of the final WEs for the Spring VS. Most summer WEs were in Feb and ACs have all been running for summer across Feb and March (based on all the posts I remember seeing on the forum).
