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

[JohnDoeTCLA]

Anyone who did Covington’s AC last week heard back?

 

[RachelLouise22]

So sorry.. if this is after the ac do they email or call if you don't mind me asking?

They call you! Was gutting because I made the mark for the Vac scheme which I can’t do, but not direct Tc which I defintely could do ahaha

What's going on with Clyde & Co, are they still ghosting? Also does anyone know when W&C will send out VIs until, I still haven't heard from them and am praying its not going to be a PFO.

I’m waiting to hear back after my AC for Clydes. They said they would get back to us this week

Was this for a vacation scheme?

CMS rejection post-app. In the email, they mentioned that they had reached capacity, and I applied on the day of the deadline which may explain things...

sorry to hear that, presumably CMS recruit on rolling basis then?

I applied for the Summer VS. I suppose they've been ghosting the Summer people to just get through the Spring scheme allotment

 

[mome101]

Just received RPC PFO for Summer VS. Not that bummed because I'm pretty sure they do not sponsor internationals for TC. But I was quite interested in the firm. Oh well, we move on.

Has anyone had experience with a Taylor Wessing AC? would really appreciate any advice you could give and happy to try and help in return!

Nope - think they finish interviewing on Wednesday so will probs hear after that

I got a VS offer via phone call on Friday but haven’t had an email confirming the offer yet- is this normal? How long should I expect to wait until I receive the confirmation email?

Thats annoying, but still amazing to get a vac scheme offer!

Fieldfisher pfo. I was sure it was my best application. Off to get employed by Taco Bell I think. I don’t know what else I can do

I am so sorry to hear. May I ask if you applied to 2024 TC? I am waiting to hear from them and honestly, it's my last hope for this cycle, so if they do PFO me I'm afraid I'll be meeting you soon in Taco Bell 😭

I waited 2-3 days to get my written offer from CMS, think it’ll depend on the firm

 

[Legalmel_99]

Yeah spring

Ooo good luck!!

 

[manchester12]

oh god just dawn on me. I have an in person interview on Friday. Surely I don't shake their hand ? As although we are nearly out the pandemic its not really appropriate/ safe yet? lol don't mind me stressing about tiny issues

What is the criteria for what they assess you when it comes to VS and direct TCs? Surely it's the same?

Okay great- thanks for your help!

Criteria is the same but you have to score higher for Direct TC (may not be the same for every firm)
