TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Ancika]

Has anyone else received an AC invite from Weil today? Trying to figure out whether there is still a chance.

 

[ninarosee]

based on your reasoning, you should say "there are two main reasons" only when you actually have 2 points to give lmao

I did this at an AC last year where I was like, yes I have learned 3 things. And then I finish my second point and say "thirdly.." and lo and behold, i had no third point. We sat in silence until the interviewers were just like, let's move on 😂 never again.

wait if that happened to me i genuinely don’t think i’d ever recover 😭😭

 

[Donna Paulsen]

me when i answer with straight face: wow what a cocky corporate robot

smiling while answering: omg get this creep off my screen

How I think they'd react if I don't smile: omg evil horrible girl.... horrible to work with........ nasty terrible woman

How I think they'd react if I smile: FAKE!!! We have a FAKER. #StrikinglyFake and also a FREAK!!!

 

[Dannie]

Any more links ACs?..

That is so useful tysm, I think it’s because I can probably come up with 2-3 points but when I’ve come to the end of the first and second my mind tends to blank. And as for your experience, omg I’m so sorry that happened, that’s happened to me so many times for VIs

😭 😭 😭 trust me, I've burrowed it in the deepest darkest corners of my mind HAHA

I've learned my lesson anyways...I was just too nervous at that AC since it was my first ever. It's definitely a dark history moment of mine...

This is quite specific, but has anyone applied to Akin on 22/12 or later and heard back?

 

[Hopeful applicant]

Guys if i did the cleary WG 1 month ago and haven't heard back is that a PFO...

Its not over till its over. They may have a set number of final AC's that they will give out but do not want to overlook potential good candidates who apply later.

[applicant3000]

Congratulations! When exactly did you do your AC?

[M85672]

Legit haven't heard anything from any firm for a good 10 days lol

 

[shays]

I haven't even gotten a WG.

How depressing for me..

Guys, FYI the account @rulebritannia reacting to this message with a like emoji is a scammer - just had a very disappointing convo with them in private where they clearly lied and then reported me after I called them on their BS😂

The lesson is DON’T take everything at face value on this forum. Yes most people posting are real and engaging in application convos to actually get ahead in the game and help others, but there are at least a few fakes. Be aware

Whatttt? Lied about what? What are they trying to get out of this forum lol #weird

 

[I’m a celebrity get me out of here - VS/TC edn]

@rulebritannia You seem to like every post of someone asking if they have heard back from a firm. Have you heard back from every firm this cycle or is this rage bait?

I am not sure what you have gained out of this - i am not a scammer - i just didn't want to share my test scores with you?
