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

[AspiringTrainee]

How long did you receive the VI following the test? Also, how long after the test did you receive feedback?

I did the test on Monday, got my feedback report yesterday (it went to my spam folder) and then was invited to interview today.

 

[c-lear]

Just did my first ever Artic Shores assessment and I don't know how to feel

OMG Teacher Stern rejection 3rd rejection in 3 days omg. I am not demotivated yet am still doing applications today. But seriously 3 rejections in 3 days in a row do law firms, not like me.

 

[NMA]

Has anyone heard back from Kirkland post-VI?

 

[WillF]

Am i still able to request my WG score?

I feel you but I am not affected by them as I am trying to keep my motivation for the rest of these January applications.

Has anyone heard back from Clyde post-VI? Did they also provide a feedback report?

 

[c-lear]

Has anyone heard anything after Reed Smith's VI?

Nothing yet! They said we should hear back late Jan so I would expect us to start hearing back last week of jan hopefully

Has anyone heard back from Clyde post-VI? Did they also provide a feedback report?

Nothing from Clydes yet. I received my feedback about a week ago but it was in my spam folder so defo check in there

Did you request the clyde feedback or was it automatic?

 

[manchester12]

Yeah still waiting to hear back, hopefully we here by the end of the week.

Which office did you apply to?

 

[CorporateLaw101]

Anyone know which firms actually prioritise RG/Oxbridge grads?

I understand that there is a huge misconception that firms prioritise RG candidates when in reality this is largely incorrect. However, does anyone know of firms that actively do engage in this practise?

i.e. Sherman and sterling have 4% non RG trainees.

Got a lovely PFO from Hogan Lovells aswell. But I thought I did well on the WG.
In fact I asked for and received the WG report from Linklaters after their PFO from the winter vac, and I did exceptionally well, so what the heck were they looking for?
I'd be interested in getting a WG report for Hogan Lovells too, but I can't find the relevant contact info.
