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

[RkRk0681]

Me! Every AC invite makes me feel like my chances are dwindling but I do remember CMS being one of those firms where no news is actually good news - they seem to send out rejections and invites almost at random

Thank you, that's reassuring. I only completed the VI last week so I'm hoping that's why they're taking their time

anyone else apply for spring vac scheme at linklaters and not hear back.
I’ve spoken to people with ac’s and pfo’s, so not sure what to make of it

Hey so last year I know Links did everything in batches, so some people got an AC towards end of Feb, I think it’s literally batches and not necessarily got it or not x

Weil WG! They must be reviewing apps at this moment because I applied less than an hour ago 😦

Hey, this is really useful thanks. I imagine they got back to the spring applicant before the summer ones ?

Hey everyone, I'm reading through Jake Schogger/Chris Stoakes's books and I have a general understanding of the M&A process but I actually cannot remember all the tiny minute details like "liability caps" or "break clauses" really detailed stuff. Would this be detrimental at AC?

I'm just panicking now. It feels like a-levels all over again and revising for exams

Invited to Taylor Wessing online game stage.

Hey! Can I ask when you applied for the Vac Scheme? Thanks

 

[Dwight]

How does one know if their CMS VI has been reviewed. Does it say so under 'Status' in the portal?

 

[em311]

Skadden telephone interview! If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!

 

[Aspiratio]

Just been invited to a Gibson Dunn interview!!!!!

Congrats! When have you applied?

 

[Sfernan21]

Congrats! When have you applied?

Thanks a lot! I applied early December, after attending the open day!

Anyone who has had experience with the CMS AC, please do message me! It's my first ever AC and I'm not entirely sure how to prepare, so any insight would be so so welcomed!
