    I call it as I see it. And freedom of expression doesn't end in this forum, right?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Some sites, like the lawyer portal, say within 48 hours; however, I attended an open day there last week and asked Jasmine Uppal this specific question. She mentioned that they do not send WG until they read your application, and they review apps on a rolling basis.

    So......you submitted your application for a SUMMER SCHEME on 22/10 and emailed less than two weeks later to ask where your WG is? 😂😂😂 Does that seem reasonable and rational to you? Some firms do not automatically send assessments. They review the application before sending it; HL is a firm...

    I understand the frustration, but what's the point? It's not like they have forgotten you. Just think how many people send these emails during a busy time for them. Do you think they would be more favourable to you if you're in that annoying pile that they have to respond with: "You'll hear back...

    On the W&C app, you have 3 choices based on your preference for a scheme, so I assume they are still filling all three schemes and considering how many they take each scheme, they are still filling spots and having interviews.

    Guys, no one here who actually wants a VC, and TC cares about this drama. If you disagree with what IneedaTCASAP said, that's fine; he is entitled to his opinion, and it's just that- one person's opinion. I just don't see the need to go back and forth about this non-issue when it is not the...

    Thanks. I thought mine didn't go well. I didn't get to complete my answer to the final question. My AC, in contrast, was great. Mine was just over a week I think.

    I would definitely not use that as an opportunity to sell yourself. Among other things, it could demonstrate that you don't read and follow instructions. I also had no MC's, but I used this section to say that because my A'Levels are from Cambridge, A is the equivalent of A* in their grading...

    Sorry to hear that. Don't lose hope, and don't get down. For one, it's early and two, it doesn't help. You know what you have to do. The more apps you do, the more the chances of getting even one increase. So crack on.

    Basically, Why you and what attracts you to the firm. These are all variations of the same thing with minor twists that you have to look out for.

    The first thing you have to do is manage your own emotions. I have always found that emailing people and cc'ing others, presumably in senior positions, is incredibly passive-aggressive and wastes their time. I would say that you have to develop the skill of talking yourself down in your head...

    Jones Day had this question on their app as well. I got a PFO in the end but said: "While I chose not to use AI tools in completing my application, I fully support their integration in the legal sector and application process. Jones Day’s white paper on AI regulation highlights the firm’s...
