TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Does anyone know if it’s too late to apply to Gibson Dunn as they’re rolling ??

I applied in late December last year and I got the offer and I knew some people who applied in January and got offers too. However, I would say that this year seems a little different as last year they had waited to offer people second interview invites until January. This year, I know people who already got the vacation scheme offer in November/December! I would still apply though because you never know!

Gibson Dunn is soo weird, I still haven't heard anything and it has been soo long. During the time, there have been PFOs and full-blown vac scheme offers. Starting to think they forgot to reject me lol

They do tend to not reply to some people, I heard that last year too so I would email them to inquire about the status of your application!

May I ask when did you apply?

To add onto that, I once did a video interview with Latham years ago, the question was around, 'tell us about a deal we have done that interested you'... of course I was in my first year of uni and had no idea about how to prepare. I had no idea. I fell off my chair in slow motion on purpose and exited the VI once the countdown had finished...

This is hilarious omg

I have no advice for you so I’m sorry but to make you feel better I did a VI for Simmons WVS a few months back and farted whilst talking (quite loud).…. I tried to continue but started to laugh😭 I didn’t have time to say sorry. I don’t think grad rec found it funny as I was unsurprisingly unsuccessful! Got invite to apply again through 10K interns did my VI a few weeks ago and I think it went much smoother but its Never a PFO until they tell you😁 good luck!

Nah I'm sorry for that but I've never laughed this hard on this forum

Has anyone any insight into Davis Polk interviews? They have literally not said anything about what it would be based on - it would be appreciated!!

 

[confusedstudent]

Anyone doing the NRF application know what to put under "Name of School"? Do they mean secondary schools?

Those who did the cycle last year, was the wait to find out the outcome of initial applications the same time as this year?
