TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

guys anyone heard anything for Freshfields DTC post stage 2?

I am trying to see something here, considering that Weil has changed their process this year. From applications - VI - AC to work experience and grades to SJT VI and the AC.

They will probably have thousands of VIs to shift through.. any realistic chances for a second wave of ACs? Or should I just close my laptop and go to bed🥲

Are the TW Acs all spring? Anyone got a WE invite for summer London?

ACs are all spring. Some TW summer WE went out earlier and for spring at least, they were all sent in one wave.

Hi,
I hope everyone is doing well this application cycle. I have two questions:
1. How long after submitting Mischon's AI chat interview did you receive a rejection/progression? Not sure how i'm feeling about it, I felt confident and got all the examples in I wanted during the actual chat but the video question.. ran out of time and only got through 1.5 of my points before getting cut off. Does anyone have any insight into maybe my odds for this?

2. Has anyone heard back from Paul, Weiss yet?

Thanks!

??? surely Weil hosts more ACs than 3 days worth of them right???

Why did someone say they send them out just once? They haven't replied to me yet about the dates ahh

that was me! im sorry to everyone I misled I swear I got the info from someone who looked at last year's invites and said they send it in one go. icl good to know there is still some hope

What's a good phrase to use when you don't know the answer to something in an AC? @Afraz Akhtar

"Why are you asking me about a news story, dont you get paid enough to know this shit"
