TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[EliteWhovian]

The Browne Jacobson vs application is the worst. For the education section, it makes me put down the date I took my GCSEs and A-levels, even though I do not remember the exact date.

I also did not take my A-levels because of lockdown in 2020 but there is no option to put this

nearly had a seizure trying to do it

Feeling this - does anyone know the typical W&C AC dates/how long they go on for?

 

[CorporateCrocodile]

Anyone know Dechert AC dates? Starting to lose hope lol.

Why do they even need to know the exact date we took each of our exams? I don’t even remember them 😂

They don’t. Just put random dates in

You don’t need to put the exact date down. Just put the first of the month and August down. It isn’t when you sat it, it’s when it was awarded to you, and results are typically in August each year.

The not sitting A-levels will be the case for most applicants in 2020, so again, I wouldn’t really worry about this.

You don’t. If your certificates have a date on them, use that (as that is when the qualification was awarded, which is actually the date required). If you don’t have access to your certificates just put 01/08/YEAR as that is the month GCSE and A-levels are awarded.

@Jessica Booker Its been a few days since I was supposed to hear back post-AC. Would it be appropriate to call/ e-mail the firm and follow up regarding the outcome/ time-line of the outcome?
