TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Just curious, when it says 59th percentile - does it mean of general WG test, the general population or 59th percentile of Linklaters applicants who took the test? Because the two will be totally different.

Its out of the Linklaters applicants who took the particular WG test

How are people seeing their WG results for links?

Email grad rec and ask them for your score.

Would anyone with a Links AC invite be open to sharing their sjt strengths and weaknesses? Fine if you want to dm too! Thank youuu

strengths: motivation, working with others
weakness: resource and work management

So happy to say that I accepted a TC offer right before Christmas A huge thanks to TCLA for the support over the last two years

NGL was so tempted to tell you guys earlier because we've been in this together but wasn't allowed to share the news.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly you have been a star on this forum and will never forget your words of wisdom which helped me a lot during a particularly challenging and frustrating time. You more than deserve the offer, congratulations once again!

Sorry guys kinda random but I'm currently looking at W&C's deals and I must say I'm really impressed by the firm's dedication to escalators.

I think we should all write to them about their escalators, make the grad rec believe how much we stan escalators, confuse the hell out of em.

 

[Ijustwanttobealawyer]

Oh, I think I applied for spring so i'm not sure if that person had an AC for winter?

Oh sorry I was trying to work out whether they sent out ACs all in one go (I.e if I don’t hear today, assume it’s a PFO) or if it was staggered! Sorry if it was unclear!

Anyone heard anything for Bristol office Simmons vac scheme?

Hearing back from Simmons? What a positively preposterous concept!

"Tell us about your interests"

Well...ever since a young age I've had a fascination with escalators and their dynamism and versatility. This draws me to the firm, as I understand that the firm likes escalators just as much as I do. I think we possess alignment beyond my understanding, hence why you should accept me!

Interesting! My strengths are working with others and resource management and my weakness is leadership preference

Wonder what this means for me. Wg was 88th percentile and I've not heard anything back yet

"Tell us about your interests"

Well...ever since a young age I've had a fascination with escalators and their dynamism and versatility. This draws me to White & Case, as I understand that the firm likes escalators just as much as I do. I think we possess alignment beyond my understanding, hence why you should accept me!

Thank you for making me laugh out so loud

I just took OC test, and my goodness! Not only did they rush me through it, they also didn't give me enough time to complete the feedback questionnaire. Like can you please give me a second to give SHL a 1* review

 

[ilikelaw]

took the w&c test.. you were right about that

Does anyone know what percentile links looks for?

I read it ranges between 30-50%. But majority of it depends on the sjt, not the wg
