    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hi Jessica, I want to ask that if I get a training contract commencing in 2027, but I will graduate in 2025 and finish my SQE in 2026, can I ask the firm to move my start date to 2026? If not, what can I do in the year waiting for my TC?

    My advice would be to not blame yourself too much. I had my VS with an MC firm last year which was advertised to have a conversion rate of 80% (meaning they will take close to 50 out of 60). However, when I did not make the final cut, I stalked every summer VS-er and realised they only take 27...

    Hi Jessica, I recently applied for the American Express summer internship. I want to ask, from your experience as a graduate recruitment, how long will it usually take for a company to reply to their successful candidates? Because AMEX would not contact unsuccessful candidate, I really hope to...

    Has anyone heard back from Paul Hastings PHIRST or should we accept what they said in their email is true and there will be no hearing back?

    I dont even know if they've filled their scheme yet. All I knew was that immediately after I submitted my app on the dl, they sent me an email saying if I have not heard back, my app was rejected. So perhaps they already sent out interviews to those applied before and filled the scheme

    @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre hi, I have an application question to ask. I'm currently applying for a placement year and in the application form, there are 4 questions each with 500 words max. Should I max out the word limit in all four questions or keep it in the 300 words range? Thank you

    I think you are right. Especially with my finals coming in 2 months, it might be best for me to drop everything now and focus on my study to hopefully get a 1st. I might consider to apply for some summer intern outside law to gain some experience or maybe a placement year. If I were to apply...

    W&C PFO. I don't think I can't take it anymore. All firms I applied to this year sent me PFO

    Hi, I want to ask if anyone know when will Latham have their last sets of AC for summer VS? And if I haven't got an AC invite by now, should I consider it a PFO?

    Can I ask if this is for spring or summer?

    Same here. But I will try to remain some hope because it seems Latham is processing the Spring cohort atm. I have seen a few pfo and offers for spring lately but not any for summer
