TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hi guys,

I just have a question. If you applied this year for example and got rejections post VI, AC etc

Do you have a less chance next year just because you applied the year before? And they don’t want to assess you again? Or the same chance as last year? Thank you!

Differs for every firm. Some firms like Travers and Jones Day will not interview you a second time. I did a Weil VI 2 years ago, and made the AC this year

Hi @Abbie Whitlock @Andrei Radu !!
I have an upcoming AC, it’s also my first ever one and I was wondering if you might have any tips on preparing for commercial awareness questions. In particular, I’d really appreciate any pointers on following current affairs or good starting points for topics like geopolitical issues, the use of AI, and key considerations for public companies. Thank you so much !
