    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I know quite a few people who did the vac who literally applied in the last hour - W&C is one of those firms that will read all applications (confirmed by grad rec), don't get me wrong there's an advantage in applying earlier but you're not out of the game, especially since there's a couple more...

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking of applying to Winston & Strawn and it requires you to submit a Vacation Scheme Placement Questionnaire, but I cannot find this anywhere in the application, or on lawcareers.net. Does anyone have any insight?

    I dont know how relevant this is (as application processes may change year-on-year) but last year I applied 5 minutes before the deadline for Weil on the 15th and got the VI in mid January. So don't be disheartened for any of you who haven't heard back yet :)

    From my experience, its not that deep, just put an estimated end date if you have one on your contract or an end date far into 2025, and make sure in your description that its clear its your current role (using present tense for instance). I've done that and gotten offers, worst case you can...
