TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[ahahamwahaha]

Does anyone have a list of DTCs currently open please. Should've known better than to bank it all on one firm...

Hi guys I have an interview coming up, just read over my application form and I’ve realised that the form auto generated and I forgot to update it to include my third year modules (ive now graduated) how do i approach this in the interview ? kicking myself for not realising this earlier

My VS last year I forgot to put in ANY work experience (and I have a lot!). It was allhires and you have to manually enter work experience (the "mylawcareers" thing doesnt support it) and I forgot. Not a big deal.

A strong assumption based off the general feedback

Anyone know PW timeline so far with summer vac scheme applicants ?

I think they are aiming to reply either this week or next from what they said the other week on their thread

You can infer this by realising that people with an inferior score have progressed to the next stage several weeks ago

Once others complete the willkie partner interview feel free to message me if you want to talk about how you felt it went for you. I did mine on yesterday!

Fladgate Willo interview invite following SJT - this automatic? I think it is selective, because next stage is AC.

Guys what do I do in this situation. a law firm has just scheduled an interview for next week. But the issue is the interview is on the same day as my induction for a part time job ive been offered. Obviously the law firm takes precedence but Idk. what do I do should I call up the retail place and tell them I can't make it for the induction or should I ask the firm if they have other slots available for the interview

100% call up the retail place and ask to reschedule the induction. i've done so many part-time minimum wage jobs and the inductions have never been anything more important than online training or shadowing someone
