TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Cynthia14]

Hey guys, apart from FF and CC (an LL's Pearson link), does anyone know of any firms that have practice WG tests on their websites?

Hogan Lovells and CMS

 

[Cynthia14]

people who've done AG AC, did you ask grad rec about what the timeline is for the whole process? or when they're gonna finish responding to everyone who hasn't heard back after the test/VI?

you mean Akin Gump？

 

[lawtrainee]

Has anyone else not heard from Latham & Watkins post test?

 

[LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern]

Any news from Debevoise?

 

[bella98]

Will I ever get a vac scheme😭😭

 

[EqualityNonNegotiable]

Is there an option to send the application for TCLA review?

Yes, in addition to the options mentioned earlier you also get one review if you're part of the TCLA scholarship programme.

I'd suggest be smarter than me and get it reviewed before submitting to the law firm. 🤣

Does anyone know if, where a firm offers 2 schemes in the summer, there is any benefit in attending the earlier vacation scheme as opposed to the later one?

I can't imagine there would be any benefit other than one being more suitable based on your availability.

Post WG, do they read your app again? And how did you perform in their WG?

Idk I did the spring scheme last year and converted it to AC so didn’t do any of that and they didn’t tell me my score last year

lol milbank rejection just came through, they had to send me TWO emails to make sure i got the message, how kind <3

I didn’t get anything post app. I don’t get why so many firms are ghosting me this year. I feel like they don’t even read my app 😂. Just provide me with an outcome

Same with HFW, still waiting post app

Anyone worried about the Bristows vi outcome? Considering how short the vi was

Does anyone have any resources they’d recommend for practicing the case study section of interviews? I have the Victor Cheng case study book for consulting but not sure how applicable this will be?
