TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[bella98]

I submitted mine on the 27th!! Was panicking because I thought it was automatic but maybe they are dealing with the WVS first

Ohh! It seems like the focus is currently on processing WVS applications. I've also noticed applicants for WVS receiving their WG later than expected. So, I would not worry too much as we still have plenty of time to reach out to the graduate recruitment team. I don't know if it might be best to wait for another week before doing so...

Mishcon VI. Applied deadline

If I haven't submitted my W&C SVS application, do you think it's still worth it?

In my opinion it's definitely still worth it. I'm sure there are people waiting until after they've attended the open day before submitting their application. The deadline is not until January so definitely still apply! Good luck!

Hi, for anyone who applied for Simmons SVS, how long did it take you to receive the link for the blended assessment? I submitted my application on Friday and they said they would send me a link in 2 working days but I haven't received anything yet.

0 application submitted as am not applying anymore and am just here for the memes. PS am taking a break from applications as might go down SQE paralegal route.

Hello I saw that you decided to apply to a few firms. What changed your mind? Just wondering if you spoke to any firm/firms and they advised against the SQE paralegal route for any particular reason. Thanks

Hi everyone, not quite sure where to ask this, but can anyone please offer some advice on we should be doing to build up a strong application. I am just feeling really stuck to be honest, and I'm not sure what kinds of things I need to be doing (coming from someone who is in the final year of a non-law undergrad and has basically no law experience). Literally any advice, even it's really basic, would be very much appreciated!!!
