TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

out of curiosity have any international students gotten to the next stage here? i.e. past the initial written online application stage.

ANY LATHAM UPDATES?

I sent them an email but got an automatic response saying that they don’t provide updates on the status of your application. Annoying!

I don’t think anyone has. I haven’t heard back. their deadline was only the 12th too.

Nice! This is my first cycle and have passed only once so far, with 7 rejections and 7 more pending. Thinking to apply to more to increase my chances. This process can be very demoralising though.

Any other Kirkland ACs? Only seen one post on here but I have mine tomorrow 😬

Davis Polk sent me a PFO a few minutes ago. They said my application was "impressive" but that they are "unable to invite" me to an interview (probably copied and pasted given the different font sizes).

Disappointing as I thought I had a really strong application.

Anything from Squires or Walker Morris?? The wait is killing me 😩

I decided to interpret them saying 'by the end of the month' as next week from Monday to Wednesday to keep them out of my head for the week

hey! i've applied to 10 firms (atm) and passed the app stage for all except 1 - i did get 3 rejections so far tho and still waiting for the rest, but i do understand how demoralising it can be especially as an international student. it literally feels like your future is entirely dependent on getting an acceptance along with time/visa constraints

don't worry too much. It's completely normal! Anyone who's received a TC can tell you they received loads of rejections before one said yes. you've got this!

That's great! Wishing you the best of luck 🙏 yes it's very stressful but have to keep pushing through, it just takes one acceptance.

Thank you, appreciate the kind words!!
