TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Lawyerwithadream]

hi, i would like to ask if it would be an issue that i have not disclosed any information on failing the first sqe1 attempt on my application. if I were lucky enough to secure a tc/vs offer in which they do not allow sqe resits, would they revoke the offer?

If the firm does not request any information about failed exams or SQE re-sits at online application stage no need to. But if they ask at the online application stage or later in the process, I would definitely disclose it. It’ll be up to them to decide how to deal with the information.
If you fail to disclose it and they required you to disclose it at any stage during the process and find out, can definitely revoke any offer made, if they choose to

The only time I can see this being an issue is if they have asked on the application form, at interview, or at offer stage and you have not disclosed this.

If they haven’t asked it, then I don’t expect them to retract on this basis.

Has anyone had any experience with W&C VI and would be able to shed some light on the process! Thanks

Anyone heard back from Links about the open day or wvs?

I think the open day deadline is today so it’s normal if you didn’t hear back yet they are non rolling so they only review our applications post deadline

I know how you feel...This process can be tough.
I'm sure you did your best - Onwards and upwards from here!

 

[Tattyasha]

Another member of the Sidley PFO club here. Also gutted as I thought I’d done a reasonable job with the application and had it checked with a mentor. Never mind, onwards and upwards! Chins up chaps 💗

 

[lonelycruise]

Sidley pfo! first ever application and got very cocky about the outcome with my academic background... Great humbling experience lol

Has anyone heard from Ashurst, who applied on the deadline?

 

[sxw517]

The tests are separate -- a skills-based online assessment, then the Watson Glaser Test

Do you happen to know if there is a time limit for the WG test/is time taken into account?

 

[yasmars]

Has anyone heard from Ashurst, who applied on the deadline?

Nope. I assume a rejection

Both tests for Linklaters are untimed

Nope. I assume a rejection

Yeah, have seen quite a few people in this thread get written exercises, ACs, and final interviews even so...

Anyone know how work experience should be organised on Vantage? Do most recent experiences go at the top and oldest at bottom. Unsure as it doesn't explicitly say anywhere.
