TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

For anyone who’s done A&O’s AC, did you find you did well in case study but not the scenario interview. Just did it and I feel as though I bombed it, I’ve lost all hope.

To clarify, did you do an AC for the Summer Vac Scheme today?

Sorry to hear, do you mind me asking when you submitted your application?

I felt I did better in the scenario interview than the case study so I'm sure it's just personal opinion! I'm sure they consider it holistically so I wouldn't worry

Hi,
Has anyone heard back from Dentons at all?

 

[mfuturetrainee]

general q but how do people acc prepare for case studies?

 

[NJS]

Has anyone got any experience with the Pinsent Masons video interview?

Gowling VI was a shit show, PFO definitely incoming 🤣

 

[PC99]

I see a few have already received PFOs and I’ve seen one acceptance. Perhaps they’re going through Spring VS first and then doing the Summer ones? They seem to be pretty quick though in comparison to other firms!

Heya,

I've applied for Spring - passed the test last week (Thurs) but haven't heard back.

 

[Legalstalker]

The first firm that has given me a PFO without me even applying.🤣🤣 diversity in university and race/gender is thriving at Kirkland 🤪

(Just a joke)

 

[ah898]

Does anyone have any experience with Bird & Bird VI.

It says competency questions on the email but their website mentions motivation questions as well.

Is anyone able to provide some more insights?

TW test invite! I applied 26th Nov

Hi! Has anybody heard back from DLA regarding the AC invite, but outside of London? I have not seen anybody hearing back for regional offices so just wondering if anyone has heard anything?

 

[Legalstalker]

How long after doing Latham test/Vi were you given a feedback report? I have not got one yet

I'm also waiting for an AC (hopefully!) after passing the VI a couple weeks ago for the Manchester office. Feels like I'm in DLA purgatory - Fingers crossed we hear soon!

Even I haven't received any report. Usually it takes 24 hours.
