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

[Dwight]

Can anyone who applied to Jones Day previously, please confirm whether this statement (in the automatic email after applying) is true:

'You can expect to hear back from us no later than 10 - 15 days after submitting your application'.

Is it really that fast?

Anyone received an AC invite for DLA? Or know when they'll get back to us?

If you have a look on LinkedIn they’re currently running ACs for first year insight schemers. I don’t think their ACs will begin until January for second year/third/graduates

Is it problematic that excellence is my lowest scoring on the Links Capp Test?

 

[Tony Stark]

passed the CC Watson glaser - on to application review

How long did it take people to complete the Linklaters Capp assessment I mean if I do it at 10PM will I be able to finish it before the deadline.

Yeah for sure. Took me about an hour. You’ll finish before midnight!

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Yeah for sure. Took me about an hour. You’ll finish before midnight!

Thank you for this.

 

[Tony Stark]

Sorry to hear that do you mind me asking when you applied and did you initially pass the sjt?

I applied this week, and did not pass the SJt

For Gowling, is it a test then VI then VS offer then AC? this is what I understood from their website, can anyone who is done the process before let me know! thanks

Hey if you don't mind when did you write the test? And when did you hear you've passed? (I'm assuming you applied for the 2024 tc)

 

[yusra.abo]

lol don't worry mine said this too and I still got the VI

lol don't worry mine said this too and I still got the VI

Hi when did you submit your test and when did you get the VI if you don't mind me asking

I wrote it today afternoon - and heard back today evening
yeah, wrote for the 2024 tc

For anyone who has given a presentation via Topscore, were you able to share your screen and if so, did it cover up your camera for the viewer?

 

[F99]

Does anyone know what percentage of A&O trainees are recruited from vac scheme vs direct TC route?

I believe it is 1) application 2) test 3) VI 4) AC

For Reed Smith, am I correct in thinking that the deadline (today) is just for the application form and not the situational strengths test?

I think so since most Reed Smith applicants have mentioned receiving the test after a few days. I still haven't received mine yet since submitting my application earlier today.

I don't think the SST at Reed Smith is sent automatically. The website FAQ section says that if you are successful at the online application form you will then be asked to complete the SST. I think that's what Holly Allen (Grad recruitment) said at the open day as well. So you might have to wait for a while.

I disagree with this as everyone receives the test that applies.

I got my test the same day so think they probably check you pass basic criteria / filled in the form fully

 

[Haris]

Am I right in thinking that Linklaters will still let applicants do the Watson Glaser after the application deadline?

Yeah you have 5 days to complete it!
