TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[AS24]

Hi @Ram Sabaratnam, I hope you are well.

I do not know if you have specific experience with V&E VI, but could you offer any advice on how to best approach my preparation?
I am a bit desperate as I keep failing VIs.
Thank you in advance.

White and Case VS rejection. Oh lord today has been horrible so far... two rejections in one day :/

Keep your head up, good things are just around the corner. If I remember correctly, you still have a freshfields app - being invited to WG for them is already a very good sign.
With your experience (first year schemes etc) & knowledge, the right thing will undoubtedly come along. Stay strong ❤️

Thank you so much that has helped a ton! I pray the same for you too!!

Hi all, if I haven't heard from the following firms whatsoever (either after test or nothing at all), should I assume PFO?:

Latham SVS (post test)
Weil (haven't gotten anything)
Goodwin (haven't gotten anything)
Milbank (haven't gotten anything)
Cooley (didn't get VI invite)
Katten (haven't gotten anything)
Farrer & Co (haven't gotten anything)
Jones Day (haven't gotten anything)
Akin (haven't gotten anything)
Sidley Austin (haven't gotten anything)

Also waiting on Withers post-test, didn't get V&E invite which I heard is auto-PFO
