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

[lilikoi]

DLA piper vac scheme says it's only for second year law students or final year students from other courses but I applied as a third year (final year) law student and have an AC next week. Is it foreseeable I will have any problems down the line with this?

Hi, can I ask when you applied/how long it took for them to get back to you?
I'm still waiting for DLA... 😢

Hi Guys, I did my CMS VI on the 20th of Nov and it still states “reviewed” on the application portal, should I assume a PFO?

I completed my CMS VI on the 25th of Nov and it was reviewed on the 12th of Dec but I still haven’t heard back either :/

Hi I haven’t done this years one but I did one last year for their FYS and was successful. It’s 3 questions- you have 45 seconds to prepare and 90 seconds to answer the question. They may be competence based, motivational based, or testing your commercial awareness. The questions I got were fairly broad and not too difficult to answer.

id massively recommend practicing filming and timing yourself answering questions to prepare, as this gets you used to the format! If it makes you feel better it wasn’t as hard as I was expecting- I was super nervous but it really was Ok

Is the AC for Dentons' summer vac scheme? If so when did you do the telephone interview? I am yet to hear back from mine.

Yes, I had the telephone interview on the December and received an invite to the AC two hours after the interview despite being told they would take two weeks to get back to me

Congratulations again. Has anyone who applied to London not heard back either?

I understand they got back to London candidates later last year, but I’m not 100% on this.
