TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[User5678]

Thank you and congratulations on the interview invite. Sounds like the first of a two-stage process. In which case, it seems unlikely they'd progress other candidates, given their schemes start in a month.

Hi, I just got a pfo

If anyone has any insights on the hill Dickinson vi please please pm me or reply to this thread Many thanks!

I love your optimism, but I'm just feeling so jaded by these rejections, I can't get myself to believe that.

Believe 🙏

Has anyone heard from Fieldfisher post-AC? (DTC)

 

[lawelmo]

I've just received a Gateley PFO, despite receiving an invitation to attend an AC on Wednesday! Anyone else?

 

[Tintin06]

Arnold & Porter, MoFo or Orrick? Anyone still waiting for these firms?

People with Links Summer Vac invite, how long did it take you to hear back post AC?

just got feedback post a failed ac and they said i gave the best performance they've seen for group-based exercises... which is WILD because last cycle i failed three ACs bc of the group task it's all luck trust

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

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

Just wondering why I haven’t got a PFO or this in this case… firms really love to ghost me

Oh wow! What do you think you did differently this time?

 

[Cool pigeon]

Anyone heard from Debevoise?

 

[simplyfaith]

Arnold & Porter, MoFo or Orrick? Anyone still waiting for these firms?

I'm technically still waiting on Orrick post-app - I never even received the test. Pretty sure it's a rejection by now, though I don't know why they can't just tell me that 🤣

Post VI?

 

[tomaspessanha]

Has anyone heard back from mishcon post vi?

 

[tomaspessanha]

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!

Have you heard anything from Paul Hastings?
