TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Yeah that's what I was saying, so when you see the question, the prep time is not a countdown or a set time, so you can spend as long as you want on it, but since they can see how long you take, I would assume the longer you take the worse it looks.

I agree, I would count the time to prepare. Lord, it is so hard because you are on camera and cannot look at the timer.

Hey, I have a spring vac scheme offer and waiting to hear back from a firm for a summer AC I recently did. I’m thinking of asking to convert my spring vac scheme into a summer one, as I can do both back to back. However, I am also waiting to hear back post-test from HSF and hogan lovells for summer, two firms which I really like but have no clue whether they are still even giving out ACs. Any advice on whether I can covert a spring into summer, and also whether I should bother waiting for Hogan Lovells and HSF before doing this?

I am waiting as well, but I saw in LinkedIn that someone was offered a spring vacation scheme. I am not sure if he was delayed from the winter intake or applied to spring.

On a scale of 1 (run-of-the-mill, normal VI questions), to 10 (what the hell are these questions, no one could ever prepare for these), how would people who have taken the Dechert VI rank it?

Launchpad always means 23.59 on the date stated. For some reason it’s been like that for nearly a decade and they have never changed it.

Thank you so much, Jessica; this has been really helpful and relieving.

Hi, does anyone know what percentage of Milbank VS people get TC offers?

I know they only recruit from their VS but I’m curious as to roughly what % get recruited from their VS. Thanks

anything from reed smith this morning?

It looks like most people heard about AC's in the second week of Feb last year. Might have to wait another week..

Does anyone have a list of firms that are still accepting apps for vac schemes?

If you download the legal cheek app, they show you a timeline. It may also be on their website too

Any idea how many spots are there on the VS?

I have a question but when you get the 'assumed' and 'not assumed' questions. Would 'not assumed' just mean that the statement correlates with the original statement so it's essentially just worded different? Then 'assumed' would be that it does not correlate with the original statement? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

[F12M34L]

I’m not best placed to answer this as my verbal comprehension for these type of assessments is not very strong!

No, assumed means that the proposed argument needs to be true in order for the statement in the question to be true.
