TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Gottagetthroughthis101]

I did it this morning. So I assume there is some kind of benchmark that is met for the SHT and CRT, because there’s nothing else to judge it off as the application form doesn’t have anything.

Ah okay interesting. I haven’t received a pfo yet but did my test yesterday morning. We shall see! Thanks for answering

If I had a quid for every email I've received from any firm since Christmas, I'd be flat broke. Which is also the convenient outcome if it stays this way

Ahh i see thanks! So it's not a PFO for me and your friend in your opinion cause we'd have got the automatic PFO by now?

Hopefully

I wonder whether our results just went to the bottom of the inbox and they were going through it from the top down

Either that or despite meeting the benchmark, others’ results were higher than ours so we’re in the maybe pile.

Also, has anyone received any news from Irwin Mitchell? I’ve applied for the business tc for london and haven’t heard back post online assessment :/

I applied for the LSI stream and also haven't heard back after the online assessment which was completed ages ago.

TW: Serious Question

How would you approach answering “Why You?” for a video interview which is a minute long?

Would you go for a 3-point approach, or one extended point which you can link back to the firm?

Hey guys, did Fieldfisher VI on Thursday, does anyone know when I will know if I got the AC?? How long did others wait for responses?

end of this week

 

[Deleted member 43292]

Place your bets below by reacting with or if you think at least one more firm will reply to us before EOD.

I got mine like 10 mins or something after, it was fairly fast

Oh okay, counting down the minutes then

Tbh I don’t think it’ll make a difference sadly. They’ll get back to all applicants when they’re done assessing the VIs.
