TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I wouldnt worry too much about this, just email your tutor and ask if it is okay but they never really ask more than a confirmation of grades..etc. They usually contact after you get an offer for VC or TC as well (or just before they make the offer). Most tutors are used to students asking and dont mind at all. Mine got fed up of me asking everytime and said i can put her down for all applications she doesnt care LOL

Aw, thanks so much for lmk < 3 I really appreciate that!!

Do you know when they did the SJT+VI?

Do you know when they did the SJT+VI?

They said they did it on Sunday just gone. They had pretty high scores 6979 as well. I guess I'm cooked with my 7649 lol

Has anybody heard from any of these firms lately cos they’ve been somewhat quiet:

Freshfields post stage 2 (Direct TC)
Skadden post written exercise
Dechert Spring post app (applied 2 Dec)​

FF no, Dechert yes (Spring, applied late Oct IIRC)

Guys despite my Skadden PFO I’m so happy for everyone progressed. If anyone wasn’t able to attend their insight evening they hosted a couple months ago I’m happy to share notes if anyone thinks they would be of use to u in prep for your VIs. In any case, good luck to everyone!
