    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I am raising this question not because I think I am failing it, but because this exactly happened to me in my HSF application last year.

    Is the fast-track arrangement common in the legal industry or just limited to Linklaters only? I have applied for HL vacation scheme and will be attending their open day this week so it would be great if I could fast-track my application. By the way, has anyone heard from Gibson Dunn yet?

    I applied for both open day and winter vac scheme but it didn't help. And I want to know, if I am rejected from Linklaters vacation scheme will they still invite me to their open day?

    Hypothetically speaking, if I fail the benchmark will I immediately receive a notice of rejection?

    I think they will do some preliminary screening to check your eligibility before sending you the invitation.

    Even if you applied for both open day and vacation scheme you can only complete one WG, but you can complete the Capp assessment twice. Same.

    I am not Talia but I think we are in the same situation. I have applied on October 2 but I still yet to hear from them. Perhaps GDC is reviewing applications on a monthly basis? I am just guessing so take my words with a grain of salt.

    Personally, I speculate that GDC is waiting for enough applications (2 October is still quite early) to review them in one batch at a time.

    A few days ago? I think by rolling basis they mean they will screen applications perhaps every two weeks or month, though I cannot confirm that. Thanks, I have sent an email to grad rec already.

    I'm afraid that I don't have a definitive answer for that one since I have never come across that before, however, my suggestion is that you can mention your number, name, and address (but not more than four lines), so that your letter looks professional.

    First things first, do you have to upload an attachment or just type the cover letter on a textbox? If it is the latter then you don't have to since you've mentioned that already on your application form. (Based on my White & Case application experience last year when they also asked for a cover...

    Two questions: 1. I have submitted my Gibson Dunn VS application on October 2 and still yet to hear back from them. Do you know when will they make a decision? 2. I submitted my Hogan Lovells WVS application two days ago but I found out that I mixed up my answers (the answers for open days and...
