TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

You never know! They said they look at the score holistically so one lower score may not be a dealbreaker

I think that’s the case yeah but someone posted under the RS thread that they booked their AC slot for the last possible date which is late January so in 2 weeks - I think the last AC invites might have gone out already and they’re only sending PFOs now..

Theres also the spring vac scheme in April. I think the Jan ones are for winter candidates.

Also speaking of unnecessary anticipation, has anyone still not heard from Willkie post app

I was invited to do a pre-recorded video interview in mid December, got an email later saying that they'll get back to everyone (who did VIs) regarding written exercise invites before January 19th

Personally I am not very confident anymore but fingers crossed for everyone !!

I only just did my VI section yesterday so I feel like it’s not a PFO yet

True, not sure if they’d move candidates that applied for Winter to Spring, I don’t even know which dates I picked ahahha. I guess we’ll see

Through to second stage for Cooley!

Sorry what is the second stage?

 

[spamelinazoid]

We never will known how firms individually review and grade amberjacks.

Ive seen candidates pass to AC with a lower amberjack score than me when i’ve been pfo’d before.

POV: waiting for WFW and HFW after I've seen other ppl get ACs

 

[spamelinazoid]

Yes but the April vac scheme ACs will likely come after the Feb ACs…

Weil AC!! This is the first time I have progressed this far!! Applied on the deadline and did the test on the 14th. High numerical and verbal and scores of 7667

Source, makes logical sense? Why would they interview people for 2 different vac schemes at the same time? Especially when the second vac schemes is in 4 months?
