TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

[TheHamlet4]

Hi!

When I had a look the other day, I believe it just asked for your name, email, university and course, year of study, and dietary requirements - there weren't any specific questions

Hey Abbie,

I am invited to the Open Day, however I am working that day. I have a bit more flexibility since I work freelance so I might cancel my shift. Do you reckon it would be very beneficial to participate? To add, I haven’t take part in an Open Day before, not quite sure what to expect in that regard. Would it help me improve my applications to other firms as well?

P,W have changed to vantage, does anyone know if they will be using SJT now or is the process still application -> interview -> vac scheme ?

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding connecting with interviewers on LinkedIn.

I did an AC for DTC but did not get it. I was wondering if it would be acceptable to connect with the partner who interviewed me on LinkedIn. Thanks for any suggestion!

Hey everyone, does anyone know which firms don't do VIs?

Just had email confirmation from RPC regarding the rolling vs non–rolling question, here is their reply if it helps anyone:
We review all applications we receive up until the application deadline, however we encourage people to apply as soon as possible.
