TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Jessica Booker]

Thank you!!

Would it be wise to do 3 ACs in a week😅 i selectee the last date available for the other two so I definitely can’t move them. I have 2 deadlines and an AC next week so not sure if I could do any earlier either.

I know plenty of people who have done a similar amount of assessment centres in the same period of time, but it’s ultimately up to you and what you want to prioritise. You can always withdraw from one of the other firms if this firm is a priority for you and you are concerned you won’t be able to meet all commitments that week.

Hi guys - silly question for personal statement, do you directly start with content or have stuff like dear graduate recruitment? Can you avoid things you mention in a cover letter? @Jessica Booker please advise!

If it is a personal statement, no letter formalities are needed. You just go in with your opening sentence/paragraph.

Latham summer VS offer! non open day. Applied late nov

Congrats! Just wondering when you did your AC?

 

[Careergal]

Hi everyone, I really need help.

Did an AC with HSF and I know someone on the AC with me got a phone call a few hours later with an offer. I was told it could take a week and have heard that sometimes they call others later on in the week. I genuinely felt the AC went well. Has anyone got any information about this- specifically if they do call you a week after?

Hi, congrats on your AC, I can't answer your question but I was just wondering if you could kindly let me know if this is for the spring VS?

Are there any Latham spring applicants that have not been PFO'd or progressed to the AC?

Hope all is well! I don’t want to say “don’t worry about it” because I completely get your uncertainty and doubt.

My friend who has a TC with HSF was in the exact same position. Waited almost a week to hear back. The silence was gruelling. Turns out the partner who made the decision went on a ski trip, explaining the delay!

It’s unfair to wait that long but it puts in to perspective why. Could be an administrative issue. When you know, it will be worth it.

Hey - Congratulations, can you please share when you received the AC invite?

Also are there people here who applied and have been rejected or do we not hear back?

I havent heard back probs a PFO tbf

 

[applicationzzzzz]

Has anyone heard from Kirkland about Summer Vacation Scheme?

 

[jkglaw]

Anyone have any Skadden interview insights?

 

[Chill_solicitor]

If i have not heard back from Freshfields concerning the SVS should I assume PFO?

Did you get sent a WG test?

Yes it was

Also got the call few hours later (2023) ... But maybe they are still interviewing Be optimistic.

yes they had another AC today. I’m hoping I get an offer.

 

[Olivialee15]

Links summer VS offer 😊 - called me today, had my AC yesterday, I'm so happy!

Reed Smith PFO after VI. I just don’t understand why!! The assessment report I got showed like a full score in numerical and verbal. The VI actually went well! I have done many VIs and always felt like I didn’t do well but for this one I honestly felt like I did well! I just don’t get it… it’s so disheartening (
