TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[BealMcAlly]

Is this a generic message in the rejection email from shoosmiths: we would be very pleased to receive a future application from you, when the cycle re-opens in Autumn 2026. From what I have read on here, last year there was a range of different e-mails

Yeahhh last year my rejection said 'please know your application was strong'...

This year it was a complete big fat no with generic advice on what to improve on that everyone gets.

London Spring pref

I haven’t gotten one either but in past years it was the DTC applicants who got the holding email and I also applied for the spring placement scheme so maybe that’s why we haven’t?

When completing the work history section on various applications, should I aim to use the entire 250 words that are usually given, or should it just be a brief overview?

Anyone heard anything from Ashurst today?

I am worried that they have already sent out offers if they said results from friday as it is has been very very quiet
Hopefully we hear back soon tho cos I was in the first week of interviews so has been almost three weeks and the wait is so bad
