TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Did anyone else just receive the email from Bird & Bird that they are still reviewing our feedback post-AC? Gave me the biggest scare😅

 

[AlegalA]

Think they have forgotten us lol. Pretty glad tho, I really messed up the question on where we would put a new office by trying to be quirky and unique.

Hahaha what did you put?

 

[AlegalA]

I know they’ve held at least two assessment centres and offered out some places of their schemes, hope you hear back soon!

Do you know if this was for spring or summer?

 

[Chelsea101]

My cycle now rests on NRF, who appear to have handed out all TIs? 😭😭

Is there anyone who still hasn’t heard anything from them to help put me out of my misery?

I really hope they haven't handed out all TIs :/

 

[kmo20]

Does anyone know how long W&C take to get back post-AC? Or has anyone heard back already for summer who did the AC’s this week? Thank you

 

[LillyandSilver]

Hahaha what did you put?

All I will say is I talked about shipping... and I chose a landlocked country. I think it was pretty clear I did not take Geography.

Mishcon PFO! Brings my cycle to a close

I’ve seen a few on here but hoping they scatter them out. I just wish they all did PFOs/next stages at the same time 😭

I had a friend who applied to W&C last cycle and they took over a month post-AC. I think they’ve still got a lot of summer ones to get through and they seem to drag through until April with ACs so imagine it could be a while!

Woohoo Mishcon PFO post-VI🫡 that marks the last VS app I am likely ever going to do. Moving on to direct TCs !

They do it all in one - so you can pick but it is first come first serve.

 

[Givemeatcplease]

Anyone still waiting on Travers?

Thing is they said in my interview on Monday that they would let me know by the end of this week or early next week so I hope that is the case.

Orrick PFO

 

[therealslimshady]

I just think of rejection as redirection and learn from that experience. It does pinch but then I think next time it might happen.

This is a healthy approach to take.

 

[yasmars]

Anyone still waiting on Travers?

Not sure if a PFO is imminent as they have been interviewing for around 2 weeks now

 

[saj2002]

Has anyone completed BDB Pitmans' VI?

 

[Legalstalker]

Mishcon PFO post VI. A bit gutted! But that’s the end of my cycle. Best of luck everyone!

You had a successful cycle with 2 offer!!! well done

 

[futuretrainee2025]

@Legalstalker how long did you wait from Goodwin post-ac? I didn't apply but I remember you waited a while for yours and im overthinking bc a firm said they'd get back to me in a week and no news yetttt
