TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

How long it usually take for DLA to respond after WG? I am applying for london and did mine on last Wednesday but haven't got anything.

I have a friend did WG on thursday and was invited to VI on friday. Not sure whether DLA screen all applications centrally or it's up to each office.
I was rejected from them after WG last year. IIRC I didn't wait that long afterwards, I think it was a maximum of 2-3 weeks
 
Has anyone else had problems uploading their CV for DLA Piper? I've tried uploading in all of the suggested formats and methods, but no luck even though it says my document has been successfully uploaded.

Hi, for those who have applied for Jones Day vacation scheme, did you put down academic referee's phone number? I only have my referee's email address, but the phone number section seems to be mandatory to fill thank you!
 
According to their website, CMS says that a successful two weeks on their Insight Scheme may mean one is invited to an assessment centre for a training contract.

Any idea what the chances are of this happening or is their Insight Scheme rather unassociated with a training contract?
