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

    I would say that it is definitely ok as long as it is not the exact same example of what you were doing but rather a different situation within that same experience/job/role - does that make sense?

    I feel like that answer will be useful to a lot of firms’ apps! Also, is there no legal case or potential legal case surrounding the story you talked about? If there isn’t then you shouldn’t use it but if there is sort of then you could get away with it I think

    Yes especially considering they let people apply for both vac scheme and direct TC within the same recruitment cycle!

    I did a vac scheme, waited almost two months to get a standard rejection e-mail saying that unfortunately the firm couldn't offer feedback lol

    I've seen this, I think Reed Smith is doing this? What I'm wondering is whether this means that these firms will stop recruiting two years in advance and essentially trim out two years of the qualification process, or whether it will still be 3-4 years from securing a TC to qualifying

    I heard back yesterday after TI on Friday 16th so looks like they're not sending them out all at once! I'd also be grateful if anyone can offer advice on the Morgan Lewis AC!

    May I ask how they would make decisions in time to arrange and pay for GDL or LPC if they hold ACs in the fall?

    I spoke to the head of grad rec - she said they'd consider direct TC apps for next year's vac schemes though so don't worry about the time you spent as it could be worth it!

    Yeah to clarify I had thought it went really well precisely because of how I was able to deliver well prepared answers for each of the questions - I guess they want something much more natural
