    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Not sure if this is the best place for this, but how are social events on vac schemes assessed? I may not be able to make one during my scheme due to a family commitment and I am so worried that it might be frowned upon, even though it is outside of the working hours. Any advice?

    Not yet (London office). Hopefully soon though, from searching on the forum it was the end of March last year that they got back to applicants.

    Out of interest - when did you submit your TLT app and when did you receive the WG? Thanks!

    I had a PFO from DLA quite some time ago now, so by the looks of things you are still under consideration :)

    Irwin Mitchell VI, according to my portal. No email as of yet. I presume they give VIs to people who have met a certain standard on the test?

    I received it on the same day I submitted my application, I assume it is automatic. Worth checking your spam, I did have one of their emails go in there!

    Has anybody done the Gateley VI that forms part of the testing, post-written application? This would be my first ever VI and I really don't know what mindset I should be in when I attempt it. Any advice?

    This might be a silly question but with the Ashurst VS application, for the question about yourself, your skills, achievements etc (750 words) - should I also mention grades and specific work I did in those modules? Or is it just for co-curriculars etc? thanks!

    Thank you for your reply! Even with firms that don't have A-level requirements, I assume they still take them into account? It's just I have some friends a little bit further down the road than me (I took a gap year, they didn't) and they often got A/A* and have said to me they think it has made...

    Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, but have really enjoyed reading the content published by the team and the community - it has already cleared up a few misconceptions I had about commercial law. Just by way of background: I have just finished my first year of my LLB at a non-RG university...
