    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hello! I have my first AC ever tomorrow and I was wondering whether there were any resources/forums (preferably for free) that could offer some insight into the Dos and Donts of ACs! Also, if anyone has some advice that they'd be willing to share, I would really appreciate it x

    Perhaps a silly question, but if lawyers are involved in advising a client and the client ends up settling without going to court, is it properly called a "case"? or is "deal" better

    I personally found JobTestPrep to be pretty good, I managed to bring my score up to be in 90th percentile thanks to practicing with them. However, they advertise for more tests than are actually offered.

    Hello, I applied to the Taylor Wessing open day for October 21st and haven’t heard back, however I logged into the website and instead of saying “find out more” it said the event was full but I had the option to reserve a spot. Does this mean I was accepted?

    I am once again asking if anyone has heard from Withers post test — saw someone got a vac scheme, are they still interviewing or should I assume PFO?

    Yeah, they kind of feel like those myers-briggs tests with results that just depend on the mood you are in when you take them 😅

    I did not say or imply that, I don’t even go there 😂 I was trying to rationalise why there appears to be a prevalence of Oxbridge students at ACs, but as it turns out it doesn’t make a big difference. I just think it’s counterproductive to pin rejection on a class of people having an “edge,”...

    People seem to forget that Oxbridge is difficult and very intense — people achieving top marks there are likely to be hard-working, intelligent, or both. As far as work experience is concerned, due to the intensity of the courses there students are heavily discouraged from seeking paid work...

    Bit of an odd one, but I tried to access my Withers sjt report and the link says that the report is “No longer active.” I requested a new link and it hasn’t arrived. Should I assume pfo or is this normal?

    Do firms generally call you if you’ve reached the interview stage or do they email?
