TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[TCLAuser2002]

Just checked my Pinsent Masons account and got PFO post VI, didnt even get an email

Dubai Gateway or normal VS/TC

 

[Hopeful applicant]

when will we hear from slaughter post interview

if you are unsuccesful it can be around a week. If they think you have a chance it can be longer, as they reach out to referees. (2/3 weeks)

(edit: YMMV -- take it with a grain of salt)

Hey, I have an upcoming AC with a US firm where the structure is: motivation interview, written exercise and group assessment. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how best to prepare for these exercises and with a US firm too (as this is my first time) I'd greatly appreciate ANYTHING!
