TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I have put down I have a neurodiversity on my applications. A firm is asking for proof - however I dont really feel comfortable sharing the full 30 page diagnostic report. Does anyone have any past experience of this/ know whether it would be acceptable in just providing a screenshot of the conclusion paragraph?

Reactions: Abbie Whitlock
Hello @Abbie Whitlock , I was reapplying to Reed Smith - but last year, I listed their Diversity and inclusion as one of the reasons. would you recommend changing that this year? - as RS has changed ED&I to Culture & Engagement.
I'm also not sure if their affinity groups exist anymore in the UK as they have been removed in the US.
If you could provide any clarification on this, I would be very grateful!

That is quite odd.
In the past, the maximum I have been asked to do is confirm if I was provided reasonable adjustments even at uni.
I think providing a screenshot of the conclusion paragraph should be fine because that in itself is proof of your neurodiversity.
 
Davis Polk Insight Day reserve list :( I'm a bit doubtful anyone would say no but they mentioned there were only 40 spaces for each Insight Day so I imagine it's really competitive.

I've emailed asking if I could be considered for their next Insight Day in November instead but somewhere in my mind I think I remember seeing it stated that I could only apply to one (I don't know if I might have mixed this up with a different firm) but I can't seem to find any information about this on their website or application portal :/ Does anyone know anything further about this?
