TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[TortillaTC]

I wonder whether our results just went to the bottom of the inbox and they were going through it from the top down

Either that or despite meeting the benchmark, others’ results were higher than ours so we’re in the maybe pile.

Also, has anyone received any news from Irwin Mitchell? I’ve applied for the business tc for london and haven’t heard back post online assessment :/

I applied for the LSI stream and also haven't heard back after the online assessment which was completed ages ago.

TW: Serious Question

How would you approach answering “Why You?” for a video interview which is a minute long?

Would you go for a 3-point approach, or one extended point which you can link back to the firm?

Place your bets below by reacting with 👍 or 👎 if you think at least one more firm will reply to us before EOD.

I got mine like 10 mins or something after, it was fairly fast

Oh okay, counting down the minutes then 😭

Tbh I don’t think it’ll make a difference sadly. They’ll get back to all applicants when they’re done assessing the VIs.

Grad Rec looking at me when I pull up to the AC after today’s VI, because my voice currently sounds AWFUL!

Can anyone take one for the team for Latham 😭 I emailed them on Monday last week, but no response💔

 

[User2640]

Could anyone give me some tips on how to practice the critical thinking assessment? Same for WG as well, I'm really bad at them.

It took me 2 weeks to get the VI after the stage 1 assessment so i wouldn’t assume pfo if you’ve done it within the past week such a short time is not a telltale sign
