TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[BillSikes]

Fieldfisher PFO, unsurprised as I applied on deadline

Did they send you the test?

 

[tcla02]

What??? I didn’t know this. I submitted my app on the 9th and haven’t received any automated test. Haven’t even received a WG

in the same boat. don’t know if it’s a PFO

 

[Z48]

I haven’t and I’m growing a bit concerned lol

From the website the SJT is just for direct TC applicants. It looks like for the VS it’s just the WG then AC.

In previous years they sent the WG in batches so I’d say it could still be positive news

This might be a long shot, but if anyone has attended an RPC Assessment Centre (I'll also take an Open Day) and has any insights, I'd be very keen to hear them. Love from someone currently sitting SQE1 exams (I literally sat FLK1 yesterday) who does not have a lot of time to prep for her first Assessment Centre but would love to smash it!!!

Hy , I also applied to RPC but haven’t heard back. The next step was supposed to be an online assessment but never got the link for that. Did you hear back from them please? If so when?

 

[Chill_solicitor]

Has anyone heard back from Ashurst yet for their summer vac scheme? Haven’t heard anything since doing their online test

They said they’ll get back to us in Feb

Nope!

Hi - yes I received a Watson Glaser invite on 02/01, and then got the AC invite after completing the test. I have seen some people saying they've been sent tests very recently so they may well still be sending them out!

Hi! Do you mind me asking how long they took to get back to you with the AC invite after you completed the test?

 

[Parsorandini]

Does anyone know if the CMS WG is automatic or if some people get PFO after application stage?

 

[far]

Anyone heard from Weil post VI?

Not automatic. People do get pfo after applications

 

[MissAnnaliseKeating]

Has anyone heard back from:
- Foot Anstey
- Osborne Clarke
-DWF
Thanks

Waiting on OC as well, but they apparently don't start filling up AC spaces until after the deadline.

Just finished CMS AC to open an email saying I got Akin AC!

Feeling a mix of excited and burnt out, was so ready for the rest! Any tips?
