TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[James Wakefield]

I'm a bit confused, do Cooley send out the video interview to everyone who reaches the benchmark or will they review apps again?

It’s not a VI, the next stage is an interview on zoom.

They’ve already marked our applications before inviting people to the WG so I think they will look at those marks in conjunction with your WG score to decide who to interview.

W&C vi invite, any insights would be appreciated! Apply summer vs on 11th Nov, just heard back.

I’m assuming that though, for them to invite you to WG, it must be possible for you to get a score which means you’re likely to get an interview (which is a good way of looking at it!)

For some people that may be 32/40 though and for others, 38/40. Who knows!

I attended a W&C Open Day in 2024 and also received a VI invite on 3rd Jan. It was my first ever VI, and I completed the VI on 6th Jan - I haven't heard back since. What does that normally mean? Rejection or waitlist?

i wouldnt worry too much yet, i received my AC a month after completing the VI

if I haven't received WG from Cooley should i assume PFO?

 

[floral.tcla]

anyone received any communication from Linklater's summer vs after completing the tests?

i’d like to know the answer to this too.

are Cooley also sending out the WG in batches? should people expect invites today and tomorrow?

they did say successful candidates would hear back by friday, so if nothing today and tomorrow i guess it's a PFO.

PMC AC invite for London first AC of the cycle! Applied 31 Dec for those interested x

Hey, congrats! Just wanted to ask what scheme you applied to? Applied on the 3rd to the summer scheme so would like to know!

Hi all! Can anyone please give me some insight into the types of adjustments that you can request for assessment centres? Particularly ADHD related adjustments?

Please feel free to private message me about this as this will very much be down to the adjustments you require rather than what others receive.

i hope the interview went well!!

do you know if they’re still sending invites?

I improve more within application cycles. Much more so than between cycles. Anyone else a similar position? Cooley app does not look great. I'm expecting a rejection from them.
