TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

So I stopped vaping 24 hours ago cos I’m sick of depending on flavoured battery powered air and now my anxiety for everything is through the roof, especially since firms are not getting back to me! Well, I did get Farrer PFO post app for VS yesterday, but managed to get to first stage interview last cycle for DTC 😂

If I start spamming then pls turn a blind eye, I’m going through it atm 💀

I GET YOU! I can’t do without flavoured battery myself😔😔😔

Fun fact is I started using it when I started working at a law firm (workload and stress) and then came the applications stress after🥲

More power to you for trying😍
I wake up and first thing I do is find my vape on my bedside even before my eyes open🥲🥲
The longest I’ve quit is 3 days because I came home from uk and it took me 2 days to get over jet lag and go buy it😂😂😂

I’ve not been adding my two cents recently, but this interaction has me crying because I was looking in my bag this morning and found a vape I forgot about and had an “Oh!” moment 😭😭😭😭

I’m gonna start begging you for that vape in a minute 😭😂😂😂
 
Has anyone here applied to Slaughters' Hong Kong vac schemes? They only take applications by email but no auto reply email/confirmation of receipt... unsure if I just sent my application into the void/how long I should expect to wait?
 
random question but are there any Americans on here? as a Advanced Placement + GPA driven girly from DC I am wondering how I can prove proof of transcript if I can’t find it 😔
I have APs (granted, from a really long time ago). No one asked me for proof when I did my vac scheme. Come to think of it, not sure they asked me for proof of my degree either, but maybe they would have if I had converted. In any case, can probably request a copy from College Board if really needed.

Thank you so much!! I think they’re also asking for my high school transcript as well (but it’s from like 3 yrs ago) and i haven’t got a clue how to find that….
