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

Anyone still waiting for White & Case for Winter VS? I applied on 8th Oct, haven't heard back yet but I've seen some who applied later than me who received VI invites (almost immediately!!) Bit concerned because they do it on a rolling basis, so I'd assume I had mine reviewed earlier

Still waiting! Applied way back in september

I wouldn’t go through each strategy - just focus on the one that you have chosen.

Thank you, would you at least weigh up the strategy against other options in an exec summary or simply stick to the one you’re interested in only? Not sure how I’d show that I considered the other strategies

You can talk about the pro/cons of the option you are focusing on and I would expect that to be sufficient, especially given the time limit you have.

This is obviously just my opinion though - usually instructions on exercises like this will give you some guidelines on how to structure your answer anyway though, so the instructions could completely go against what I have said.

Hi, has anyone heard anything from Ashurst? I applied a month ago, and I had no feedback since... I guess it's a rejection?

Hi, does anyone know what to expect from the Stephenson Harwood case study? It's 1.5 hours and I've never tackled one before.

Hi,

I believe they are doing their last AC on Monday.

Is this for Winter VS?

Bird & Bird's 150 word limits are killing me. Feel like I have to be concise to the point of almost saying nothing.

Does anyone else’s status on the NRF job board say interview 1 after completing the WG? I don’t have an interview invite or anything but it’s the only one I have a status for

I've just completed the WG and haven't received that or any confirmation.. Maybe it takes a bit of time for the interview invite to come through?

Telephone interview invite for NRF grateful for any advice/tips!!

I didn’t receive confirmation either, sent grad rec an email to check that’s normal.

Well done! Do you mind if I ask when you did the WG?

 

[M777]

Anyone else still not had a WG invite from NRF? Starting to feel like it's a PFO.

 

[futuretraineecity]

Thank you!! I did it yesterday afternoon

Anyone know if we can only apply to one of NRF's schemes or both spring and winter? Can't find any guidance on their website.
