    I was actually reacting to the possibility of interviews being held at Oxford. 🤣 funny and sad at the same time From what I’ve heard they already have open days without needing to take tests or VIs

    That's great, you will definitely not be questioned about your university choices like me - so you're safe there!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hahaha, please do not worry! I just (personally) didn't like the firm, maybe because it's Oxbridge so heavy and I felt a bit like an outsider. I had an assessment centre with Macfarlanes a couple of days before my S&M interview and I COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE. I really loved the atmosphere at...

    Yesss, I passed CC’s Watson Glaser🥂🥹 I was a bit anxious about the outcome because I didn’t do very well in practice tests and I hate to fail the WG after putting so much effort in applications!

    Hey guys, Any recommendations for a free platform to practice the Watson Glaser? I'm specifically looking for one that provides correct answers after the practice session. I just tried the Clifford Chance WG practice, and it only gave me a score with some tips. I need the correct answers to...

    Is there anyone who has not yet received the Hogan Lovells WG? I applied two weeks ago for the summer vacation scheme. Same with Mayer Brown and their test. Should I contact Grad Rec?

    Thank you so much for the clarification. Now I have a better understanding of how these reports work! It makes sense now why our feedback reports were identical, especially since we both recognised the case study as our weakest area and the competency-based interview as our strongest, even...

    The feedback report mentions "SOVA Assessment." Although I'm not entirely familiar with how it functions, I suspect it operates in a manner akin to TopScore. This is so disappointing. I understand that firms may not always provide detailed feedback after initial application stages such as...

    I'm not surprised by the identical feedback because this happened to me with HSF post-AC. I was a bit confused by the feedback and I asked someone on the AC their opinion and the feedback they got. Surprisingly, their feedback was the EXACT same, despite the firm's assurance in the email that it...

    No no, It was an interview with either two senior associates or one senior associate and one from graduate recruitment. The duration was about 30-45 minutes. But it was the toughest interview I've ever experienced. For the first time, I was genuinely at a loss for words. I was completely taken...

    I’m pretty confident I’ll never be able to pass the first stage interview 💀 - it’s hard to find a 30 minutes interview worse than an AC
