    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I sent them an email to add some info to my app and they said they’d add it on. So it doesn’t sound like they’re finished!

    Yeah it does, I’d imagine it’ll be pretty similar. Do you mind if I ask when you applied? And does anyone know if they tend to send out all AC invites at once? Got rejected at final partner for a direct TC last year so hoping for a vac scheme this year.

    Well done, was that winter VC? I passed the AC last year for a direct TC and for mine it was just a case study and then a summary/offering a bit of advice. There’s not too much you can really prep for. I hope that’s helpful!

    They are non-rolling. I’m not sure about the second one, might be worth emailing grad rec?

    There’s definitely still hope, you never know what they’re looking for

    I thought that too, but I’ve had a look at the agile framework and all of them seem like they’d be important. I suppose it probably depends on the actual scores we get rather than just highest/lowest. I’m not sure how they’re scored but I suppose you could have a lowest score of 7/10 and the...

    Ah ok. I got critical thinking and respect as my two highest scoring and work management as my lowest, then ranked in the 97th percentile in the WG. I’m not really sure how that’ll end up, guess we’ll have to wait and see.

    Yeah that’s very true. Does anyone know how each part of the process is weighted? I can’t imagine the app form is much as it was just grades so mostly CAPP and Watson Glaser?

    I’ve got my Watson Glaser results and 70% progression on the portal, but I haven’t heard anything either.

    Yeah I’m the same, I have no idea how they weight it all. Hopefully it all goes well.

    I just did mine today. I don’t think it went too well to be honest, the logical test was really unusual. How did you find it?

    I have to say for anyone considering TCs etc Ashurst are genuinely such a nice firm. I got to the final partner interview for a direct TC last year and everyone was really nice. They called me to give in depth feedback 3 times afterwards and prioritised getting back to me because I had an...

    Yeah I read that a few years ago some of their trainees and grad rec were laughing at job applicants on a train too.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Yeah that’s very true. It’s just so annoying spending ages on an application for the firm to just not even reply. I can take a rejection email, but to just not ever hear back is so frustrating. I suppose it depends if there’s something about the firm that really appeals to you, and maybe try to...
