    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I can relate to this! I can only do one VS this summer for a few reasons and have recently accepted an offer at my top choice firm but it feels SO wrong withdrawing current applications/not pursuing next steps after all the effort put in and months of waiting for those next steps 😭 like you, I’m...

    Congrats!!! While not for Freshfields, I accepted a place at a firm for a SVS that had never mentioned extra funding or anything for housing, etc. and I emailed them (because I don’t even live in London and it’s expensive in the middle of June😭) about it, and they straight away offered to pay...

    I emailed them about a week or so ago for an estimated timeline (because I'd have to move to London for it so would like a little warning) and they said 2 weeks (so end of this week in theory) is the estimate for hearing about Spring, but I'm not holding out hope that they stick to that 🤣

    I try to think about how the day is about them getting to know you and nobody is a better expert in you, than you! This maybe can't apply to a commercial specific tasks as much, but for everything else, they are trying to get to know you - your soft skills, experience, interests, etc. Trust that...

    Thank you! In the email, there was a link to sign up for a time slot for a interview on the grad recruitment person's calendar. Availability was until March 12th. It was direct with her calendar though, not a general GR one!

    Definitely would not worry, I feel like I read somewhere they weren't expected to get back to people until March so I'm guessing they do batches. Also, given it's an interview with someone from grad recruitment, I'm guessing it depends on who is reading your application/doing the interview...

    Hi guys! I have 2 applications in for Spring VS that have no more stages (completed everything, just waiting for offers/PFOs to be sent to people), but have had no indication when we'll hear from them. Given I would have to organise travel into London, staying in London, etc. for the duration...

    Congrats! At an open day, they mentioned that they have a list of competencies on their grad hub that they're checking for, so I'd just make sure you prep an answer that can be applied to each, then you don't have to worry about the prep time. They also mentioned that once they've assessed a...

    Hi guys! This is a bit of a random question, but workday is my enemy, and I cannot figure out how to get to my inbox for my NRF application. I've been having emails that I have messages in my inbox (with the messages copied in so I can at least see them) but when I click on the link it doesn't...
