TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Deleted member 22634]

Those who applied to DLA (esp regional offices) and received their benchmark email - does the email say that meeting benchmark doesn't necessarily mean we have secured a seat at the ACs.
Also, are their ACs in person only?

Why am I unable to function during VIs? Aren’t they supposed to be easier

TW said they'd get back to me w/c 1st of December and I haven't heard anything. Should I send a follow up email? I don't need to know, but this is now quite some time after that

What date is showing on your application portal? Mine has changed to 14/12 today, so I'm hoping they're about to respond post-app to people they haven't got back to yet (or at least that my app has been reviewed now and will be in the next batch of responses!).

Congratulations!! This is amazing and you should be so proud!

I shared some general tips here which I think could be quite useful to you! https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151966

Good luck and congratulations once again!

Thank you so much!

I did mine on Monday (11th)

Submitted mine on the 9th. No response as of yet. Interested if anyone else is in the same boat for the CMS WG?

Does anyone know if Davis Polk wants cover letters to be one page max?

Any tips on getting a poor interview performance out of your head? Thanks to my ADHD, I tend to hyper-focus on any errors/poorly worded answers and then spiral... 🥺

MyLocker is such a blessing. The firms didn't need to create it/get on board so very grateful

Looking at the training contract thread, no one has heard back about a VI yet

Does anyone remember if we submit a CV to Ropes? I have just viewed the app that I submitted and cannot see any of my work experience . .

No CV! Completely blind aside from the commercial question.

So there was definitely no section to input work experience?

No, they recommend you mention any work experience during interviews at the AC. 😊
