TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

Don’t worry same! I think I actually unclicked an answer out of stress 😭 so shambolic and really not looking forward to finding out the outcome :/ there’s absolutely no way someone can get every answer right. Like I think it’s genuinely impossible!

100%, I’d prepped and done all the practice tests online I could find at least twice, and it was still not enough. I really wish we knew when we would expect to hear back re the next stage or the result. It was a lot less maths oriented than all the practice tests as well, I was expecting percentages and loads of them but it seemed to be very different.

I think we should just keep manifesting our stage 2 AC

I’m hoping it’s only people for the London office that have heard back yet 😅

Love the floating hearts on the forum. Makes up for the lack of love law firms are showing me hahah

Does anyone happen to know the dates of the Cooley summer programme?

Does anyone happen to know the dates of the Cooley summer programme?

Previously they’ve decided on dates once they know what dates the candidates can attend.

Anyone who has done the Addleshaw Goddard AC already and has any tips or been invited to AC and want to discuss, drop me a PM!

Does anyone know how many people Skadden takes into its 3 Vac Schemes? Wanted to get an idea of my chances to convert to a TC.

I’ve heard Dentons are really selective post-app so congratulations that you even got to that stage! Best of luck for your other apps

 

[AlexJ]

Has anyone heard from HFW post app for summer? Law firms seem to be taking longer than ever this cycle

[Autotunedbird]

Is anyone still waiting for CMS post-app (or any stage)? In the past, have they taken long with their process? I know they have a large intake

 

[Tintin06]

Milbank?

 

[Zm125]

would it be rude to email Latham to ask for an update on spring VS after VI? It’s been a month and I think that’s quite long, or am I buggin?

 

[solba]

Milbank?

spring vs starts in less than a month and no one heard back post ac yet apparently

spring vs starts in less than a month and no one heard back post ac yet apparently

Have they started interviewing for Summer VS yet?

I believe it's around 30ish across all three.

I wouldn't let this dishearten you though. Some people won't want to apply for a TC at the firm, some people will have already accepted an offer elsewhere and some people just won't mesh well! Focus on using it as a great opportunity to get experience that will be invaluable for the future if nothing else.

 

[prospectiveswitcher]

Anyone heard from Ropes & Gray?

 

[Hope4aVS]

has anyone heard from Bates Wells or Farrers post application?
