TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

To all those panicking about an incoming Debevoise pfo, there is still a glimmer of hope. As far as I know, Debevoise have multiple open days - I've read 3. I'm hoping that they've only sent invites for the first open day, with invites for the other open days to follow. Any thoughts?
they gave applicants the ability to choose one of three. However, there is no reason to not send rejections, unless they are considering inviting more people.

    It could be they are waiting to see if there are people who won't accept, and have those as extra spots. Alternatively, they could just be delayed sending rejections - it's not a priority for them.
