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

    Not Jessica, but i didn’t convert a vac scheme and found that having that experience was fundamental to my success on getting a TC! I was able to leverage it to show what I learnt on the scheme / why I was sure on a career in commercial law! It also lead to good interview discussions about what...

    I applied during the winter deadline on the 5th January and heard back with the WG on the 24th so about 3 weeks :) It varies a lot though and they were still sending WG after I had completed mine

    I recently attended the Vantage even with Ashurst and I got the impression that the structure of the answer is more focused around you rather than a traditional cover letter with equal components. So for example, an introduction into why law, then why ashurt then why you, however the why law and...

    Hi, does anyone know the etiquette on declining a VS offer (not signed the contract yet) and pulling out of the interview process (following a successful 1st interview)? Not sure if I should ring / email the firm and how to phrase it?

    Does anyone know how AC's are marked for firms with really big intakes i.e., do they get all the candidates and rank them or is a pass/fail sort of ranking?

    I kind of felt the same - it some areas it felt more like a q&a though about every paragraph in the article so they would ask me a question on paragraph x and when i answered they just said ‘yep let’s move on’ :/ it made me feel like I didn’t do very well because they weren’t deeply quizzing me...

    Hi - I got an invite to the AC today and I got the WG on the 24th Jan! I didn't ask for my WG score (and I probably wont) because it makes me panic before I know the outcome of whether I got to the AC or not :) (I am also usually notoriously bad at them aswell )
