TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[BillSikes]

So real! I’ve been getting so many calls being so excited a firm is calling me back just for it to be one from a call centre. 💀

Don’t answer they will email your outcome regardless.

When people submitted their Mishcon interview, did they get a confirmation email about Mishcon receiving it and when we should hear back? I didn't so wondering whether to email grad rec.

 

[panon]

has anyone received an offer from white & case post-AC yet (the ones that took place w/c 17th feb)? I have seen some rejections post-AC but no offers yet.

ropes waiting list ._.

A win is a win It’s not a rejection!

 

[Lan_be]

If I haven't heard back from Goodwin yet is it a rejection? 😭

No, I spoke to them and they’ll spend the next few days making calls

 

[floral.tcla]

if anyone has emailed HL for apps that are pending, have you heard anything yet?

 

[Legalgirl]

For those that have had their PW interview already, did anyone manage to ask when we would hear back (either acceptance/PFO)? I did ask, but the answer was so vague ('as soon as')... wondering if anyone else had better luck lol.

 

[NB1999]

has anyone heard from womble bond dickinson following their high potential assessment

in the invite to the test email it says they will get back to people week commencing 03/03

 

[tkl24]

I'm assuming no one heard from PMC this week post-AC? I emailed grad rec about when I should expect to hear back but no reply yet.

Did the grad rec reply to you?

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

Is anyone else still waiting on Ropes and/or PW?

 

[Stonky04]

Has anyone not heard back from Fieldfisher DAS post AC yet...

I heard back on Friday so I presume they will be giving out responses this week too if you haven’t.

Willkie Post Partner Interview PFO and Milbank Post AC PFO

it's a shame but you did really well to get to those stages

Yeah I had my interview last week and when I asked them, they said they were aiming to finish interviews by this Friday, with VS offers or post interview PFO’s to be sent around then onwards. I guess we will all find out this week or next week. They might prioritise those that applied for Spring VS, which starts in 4 weeks.​

Thank you, its just so demoralising to deal with so much to get to those final stages all to be rejected at the end.

Alas, I'll see how my app for PH goes and provide a breakdown of my app season after!

 

[YS391]

Did the grad rec reply to you?

Nope, not yet unfortunately.

 

[rlw123]

Hi has anyone heard from spb post-vi for leeds?

 

[legallyells]

For a 2 min VI question of what skills a lawyer needs, what is the best structure to go with? Should it be name 2-3 attributes/skills, link to the role of a lawyer and then link to my own experience? Should the final part be STAR structure?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

this is what ropes said to me:

"We have now had the opportunity to select the candidates to proceed to assessment centre. Whilst you have not been selected, you have made the waiting list. Due to the high quality of applications we received, it is a great accomplishment to reach this stage. We would like to contact you and offer you a place in the event we have any cancellations for our assessment centre."

their wording indicates all ac spots have been filled imo
