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

    If I have an upcoming winter VC but am still putting in applications for summer VCs in case of non-conversion, is it wise to mention that I'm an in incoming winter VC student at another firm in my apps? Not sure how this would be viewed by grad rec, @Jessica Booker any insights?

    I've not got my WG link yet (though I applied for their summer scheme), how long after the app did they send it to you?

    Well I just got my PFO unfortunately, seriously wonder if grad rec people hang around these threads as this is now the second time I've posted about waiting to hear back about something, only to hear back soon after 👀

    Did anyone else here apply to Slaughters' Direct TC for the March 2024 intake? I submitted mine 30th Sept because I remember the original deadline was sometime in early Oct (I think), but now I see they've extended the deadline to 30th Nov?? Wondering if we'd only hear back after that deadline...

    Tbh I found it hard to prepare for the written exercise as I think it's Simmons' own test so I didn't see any practice exercises I could do. As for the logical test, it's really bizarre stuff and I would advise doing a couple of practice rounds so you get a feel for what it's like. Usual VI...

    That's where mine is at as well now that you mention it. No idea what it means though.

    Anyone else applying for Cooley's open day / summer scheme? Struggling a bit with this question : "Tell us about you (both the good and the not so good)." (300 words) Kind of stumped what to put here seeing as they had a separate question asking you to discuss activities, interests and...

    HSF Vacation Scheme

    Hi everyone! I've been lucky enough to have a Winter Vac Scheme coming up with HSF soon - it's my first ever Vac Scheme and I'm quite anxious to impress! If anyone around here has done one with HSF recently I would be quite keen to hear about your experiences (whether or not you were successful...

    Afraid not! The email they sent specifically mentions they don't offer feedback at this stage. A bit of a bummer but oh well.

    Rejection from Simmons post-tests and video interview, *sigh*. Don't know if I somehow flubbed the video interview (I thought I did well) or my test scores weren't good enough, especially the logical reasoning one with those weird symbols 🤡

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Anyone know if it's worth applying directly for a TC at Hogan Lovells? I'm a bit confused because the grad rec staff at an event I attended today suggested it's better to do a VC if you can, since the direct TC spots are basically whatever's left over after they've chosen their VC students. But...

    Would it be expected that you name the different firms' events that you went to? I'm also not sure if this is an appropriate place to talk about the virtual vac schemes I completed via The Forage.

    I submitted my application 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard back! How long did you have to wait post-app to get an AC invitation? On a side note, anyone else applying to Clifford Chance? I struggled with the personal statement last year and probably came off a bit boring - it's 600 words...

    Same, especially the logical reasoning one - tbh half the time I had no idea what I was doing matching up the symbols :oops:
