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

For those who did WG for Baker McKenzie did you ever experience this.

I completed the WG for the summer VS and emailed graduate recruitment about my score and they said that they did not receive my test score as the third party that they do WG with that company did not send over my score and my test did not get submitted.

Does this mean I have to do the WG again or they might reject me because of this. Anyone had any experience with this before.

Hello! I was wondering if many are still waiting to hear back from CC TC 2024 ? Thanks!

I just finished my CC AC today. I think I’m one of the last batch and I guess we will be hearing back very soon.

If I’m still waiting to hear back from firms post app, is it likely a load of PFO’s coming my way?

If their deadlines were ~mid-Jan or later, it's anyone's game still.

Not holding out much hope for firms with late Dec/early Jan closes at this point

Yes it happened with me and lots of other peeps during spring app. Don't worry just tell them that you've taken it during the time window specified. They'll check that with the provider and itll be sorted out.

Hi all, does anyone know if Bird&Bird AC include a group exercise? I have seen in previous year there is one, but seems from their communication this year that there isn't this as prat of the day

Do you mind sharing when did you hear back from them post AC ?

 

[Ambs123]

I feel like I pronounced the firms name wrong in the VI I did - will this be really problematic ? It was MDR btw - used to pronounce it properly until I heard someone else pronounce it differently!! Feel really dumb

Hey, I saw this post on LinkedIn yesterday - it suggests that their process is undergoing some changes, which may explain why their comms don't indicate a group exercise this year!

anyone else thinks it is a PFO from Gowling now

Not necessarily, I cross referenced last years and this years AC invites (they were very similar in terms of deadlines) and I saw that they handed out London PFOs before sending out Birmingham office invites.

Stay positive but also do not stress out too much! Last year they handed out invites from the 26-28th and on the 29th they sent out PFOs - No applicant for the London office has received a PFO so it seems like they are much slower this year even though invites started around the 24th.

For your reference, I applied for the London office and although I have pretty much given up - you may still have a chance.

Best of luck!

WBD application is open and their application question is - Considering the location in which you wish to train; tell us about a local project or development that has interested you. Explain why it is of interest and how, as a business, we could provide support? 5000 characters

Hey guys I got an invite for a Watson Glaser test. I did one last month so in preparing for it, I exhausted all the free online resources. I definitely wanna pay to get more practice. Anyone know the best links/test packages to buy?

Also, is anyone familiar with the Winston & Strawn process after sending an app? What are the next stages?
