    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I'm in the exact same age and situation as you are right now. But I have come to terms that maybe this is a blessing in disguise because of the SQE shenanigans out there. Maybe it's better for us to do 2 years paralegal then the SQE to ensure that we'll win.

    Crazy story. I applied for AMEX summer intern at 10am today and they just sent me a pfo 5min ago. That must be a record for the fastest PFO.

    I sent Withers my new grades last night and they responded saying: "We are in the process of finalising our interviews for the Summer Vacation Scheme and you will be notified of the outcome of your application as soon as possible." I'll let you interpret it however you like but I think there...

    Hi everyone, I just got a Linklaters PFO this morning. Just a quick question, do you receive the same message saying: "However, this doesn't have to be the end of the road and we would encourage you to re-apply next year." I don't know if they sent it to all or only some people. Thank you

    Hi Jessica, I want to ask that if I get a training contract commencing in 2027, but I will graduate in 2025 and finish my SQE in 2026, can I ask the firm to move my start date to 2026? If not, what can I do in the year waiting for my TC?

    My advice would be to not blame yourself too much. I had my VS with an MC firm last year which was advertised to have a conversion rate of 80% (meaning they will take close to 50 out of 60). However, when I did not make the final cut, I stalked every summer VS-er and realised they only take 27...

    I heard someone on this forum said that they emailed grad rec and they should get back to us mid April. Also, there was another person here got an interview for this scheme last week. Oh well, best of luck to us.

    I emailed Jo and she said interviews are due to start on the 25th April and we should be informed before that if we are successful.

    Hi Jessica, I recently applied for the American Express summer internship. I want to ask, from your experience as a graduate recruitment, how long will it usually take for a company to reply to their successful candidates? Because AMEX would not contact unsuccessful candidate, I really hope to...

    Has anyone heard back from Paul Hastings PHIRST or should we accept what they said in their email is true and there will be no hearing back?

    I dont even know if they've filled their scheme yet. All I knew was that immediately after I submitted my app on the dl, they sent me an email saying if I have not heard back, my app was rejected. So perhaps they already sent out interviews to those applied before and filled the scheme

    @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre hi, I have an application question to ask. I'm currently applying for a placement year and in the application form, there are 4 questions each with 500 words max. Should I max out the word limit in all four questions or keep it in the 300 words range? Thank you

    I think you are right. Especially with my finals coming in 2 months, it might be best for me to drop everything now and focus on my study to hopefully get a 1st. I might consider to apply for some summer intern outside law to gain some experience or maybe a placement year. If I were to apply...
