TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

no i asked them whether they would be willing to move me to a later batch of ACs (that is, assuming they have them?)

we'll see how they respond...if they only hold their spring ACs over 3 days well then either my AC prep is going to suffer or my mocks are going to suffer...or worse, both lol

Oh ok hopefully then can reschedule best of luck

[tcla02]

people who did the weil test same day as me got AC invites but nothing so far for me i fear im cooked

 

[TortillaTC]

Am I right in thinking that highlighting skills developed and linking back to the firm is unnecessary for Travers Smith on the WE section? Since they have a separate cover letter

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

Weil AC. Scored 26. Should be interesting.

Yeah I bet it's PFO for me too - I scored high, high, 7697, but I think I don't fit.

Did get a WFW VI so that's nice.....

 

[trainee4u]

Yeah I just did it now, to be fair it was above average for Cappfinities:

* SJT was standard nothing new
* WG was a lot of questions I've seen before ("AI predictions are improving all the time", "More staff should be devoted to checking expense claims to reduce fraud") but maybe 40% that I hadn't

They had a "this is definitely not part of the assessment, honest" section when you click complete where they ask if you prefer dispute or advice, insurance claim or tech deal, and I'm like "you lie, this is definitely going to be assessed in some way".

They must have spent the big bucks.

Cmon Weil, send me that AC invite I got 9,7,9,7 on the test!

I got above 28 high, high and still silence, I felt pretty confident with my VI but I guess not

@TortillaTC I've seen mixed opinions on this, and all I can say is that although it is not necessary (as it is simply a place to talk about your role/duties) there is no harm in doing so. For WE sections, simply stating what you did is enough, and if you want to round it off with how that particular task developed a certain skill then feel free to mention it, but specifically linking back to the firm is not needed at all.

Samee
And it was one of my better VI's and got a 27 on that test

 

[Elsie07777]

Anyone know if Weil AC send out in batches? If not I probably assume PFO I got 7679 on SJT so I guess my VI was really bad

 

[Laurel Lance - Black Canary]

Are the Weil AC's all for spring?

Weil only offers spring scheme, but it has 2 different dates
