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

[S87]

Simmons ghosted me..oh well let's move on!

 

[mckelly]

How many people have heard back from Latham re WVS? Any PFOs?

 

[lawlawlaw123]

Have people heard back from Jones Day winter?

 

[MillyWills]

I would say go on the AC and see how it goes and then ask them once you're accepted? so you don't give a bad impression before knowing. Good luck

I have an AC next Wednesday for Clyde & Co's winter vac scheme but I've just received an offer for A&O's winter vac scheme (which I plan on accepting) which will be over the same dates - should I immediately email Clyde & Co about this to see if I can be considered for their spring or summer vac scheme instead? How do I put this without it sounding like I'm not as interested in Clyde & Co?

Congratulations on your offer! When was your A&O AC if you don’t mind sharing? I do agree with the person above that I would probably complete the AC and then ask to be moved once I get an offer 🤗

Anyone know how soon hogan lovells send out WG after submitting application and how long you have to complete it?

Still waiting! I’ve heard nothing since getting back my SJT report.

 

[Imababysolicitor]

Has anyone heard anything post VI for Willkie?

From those who took the White & Case VI last week (Monday 1st Nov to Friday 5th Nov) - has anyone heard back yet about ACs? (for the Winter VS)

 

[Mxkry]

SHould I just assume rejection from Ashurst WInter Vac by now?

Has anyone applied to the Government Legal Trainee Scheme? I'm really confused by their application process, it says it has closed for 2021 on GOV.uk then on a different page says this:


"We welcome applications on a continuous basis between 3rd September 2021 and 2nd March 2022. Applications will be assessed in 6 waves throughout the period. The cut-off for each wave is at midday on the following dates:

Wave 1: 1st October 2021
Wave 2: 29th October 2021
Wave 3: 26th November 2021
Wave 4: 5th January 2022
Wave 5: 2nd February 2022
Wave 6: 2nd March 2022"

They usually take a couple weeks-a month to reply post-VI (15 working days give or take). I got my written exercise invite after roughly that time

It probably means it is closed for their 2021 intakes. I would expect the above to relate to their 2022 intakes.

If we haven’t heard from Stephenson Harwood, Latham or Shearman would it be safe to assume PFO?

@Jessica Booker Is it still fairly early in the WVS application process? Just seeing a lot of posts on the forum of a similar nature to this one (including from myself at times!).

My guess is that if we don't hear back in week coming up to end of November then we should be worried (think you posted something like this?), but until then we should be okay? As far as I know the deadline for most WVS applications was only 31st october, ie 11 days ago

Hi, do you mind me asking where you found this? I can only find the page that says applications for 2021 have closed, I can’t find the link for the current/upcoming app cycle

Thanks for replying, that’s good to know! Can I ask, how did you find the VI? Any tips?

11 days is not a long time especially if you have to complete any assessments after submitting an application.

If you haven’t heard 4 weeks before the scheme starts, then it is less likely (but not impossible) that you aren’t being taken forward.

 

[Rob93]

Shearman and Latham I would say no, as they're non-rolling and it hasn't even been 2 weeks since close. Don't know much about Stephenson Harwood so can't comment on that.

 

[Cantab_95]

Also applied to White & Case WVS on 20 Sep but haven’t heard anything
