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

Would this be the same for the Dubai office? Because deadline for that is 4th of Feb.

Probably not! They're two separate offices, and if the deadline is the 4th it means that there must be a few ACs coming up after the deadline

Is it likely that firms have a set amount of AC they hold each year, or does it vary?

Typically there will be a range of ACs they will aim to complete. How big that range is usually depends on how they are finding the recruitment process and how big their intake is.

Thank you! It's for the Edinburgh office

I did not get a feedback report at all. I heard back a couple days after the test saying I passed the benchmark and they are going to review my app.

I see, I guess because I did my test late due to adjustments, I should expect a longer wait then. But thanks a lot!

Has anyone done the Eversheds AC this cycle or previously? Or if anyone would like to form a sort of 'study group' to help prepare, let me know!

I did one last year, feel free to message me if you have any questions

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the Mayer Brown SJT is sent automatically after completing the application form? Thanks.

Hi All,

Automatic as long as you are eligible

 

[Nemo_nana]

Automatic as long as you are eligible

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what does that mean? do you mean eligible in terms of meeting the academic requirements? Thanks!

 

[Donuttime]

Yes and I’m right year of study for example first year students cannot apply

Yes exactly so the application form isn’t scored but academic requirements and whether you are in your second year at university on onwards is looked at in terms of eligibility

Oh ok that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.
