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

My CC 2023 TC app just updated again for the third time

Mine was updated today as well (for the third time). Wish I knew what it meant

Wait can anyone tell me about the CC application process? So if a candidate has a chance of being listed for an assessment day, it will show 'your profile is of interest' in the application portal?

Hey,

CC invite users after reviewing their application to the WGT. If they pass, users are then eligible to go onto the AC.

The "your profile is of interest" message is an email that some users received who submitted their application but weren't invited to the WGT. Essentially, CC is saying that the app is of interest to them and just to wait for a little while. (So not an outright rejection).

The application portal only gives info about when the app was last "updated". "Updated" could literally be anything though. There's no way to tell if you're being progressed, rejected, accepted, etc based on the application portal.

WG is purely pass/fail. If you pass, they’ll read your app. It doesn’t matter what your score is (source: CC website).

That would be quite surprising! On the website CC says they won't look at any results from the practice trial link but does not mention anything about weighing the actual test results. I know other firms look at WGT results in conjunction with apps and grades but how each firm weighs those elements varies. No idea for CC!

Thank you for the information!

This is what it says on the CC website:

If you have successfully completed the test before for a previous application, you will not be asked to complete it again if you are submitting a new application. Please note that we do not take the specific test score into account providing you have passed it, therefore there is no benefit in doing the test again if you have previously passed it.

 

[GOI983]

Yeah there are

How long to answer and prepare for each question? How many of the video ones in general?

Thanks, I missed that and you are right. Annoying because I smashed that test.

Does anyone know whether Weil sends out WG test invite automatically, or do they send out WG test invitation after application screening?

The only thing I've heard from Reed Smith so far is that my application is still under review and they'll be in touch closer to the app deadline, which is the 10th of December.

I got this also after completing SST 1 week ago does this mean that I passed the SST test.

 

[Legal Chick]

How long does it take to get the tests from reed smith after submitting the application

CC 2023 TC - anyone else who received the 'profile of interest' email on Friday had their portal updated today?
