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

    Hi, which other firms use similar application systems as Linklater/Irwin Mitchell? I genuinely feel that it is a much better way to test my suitability than trying to relate my past experiences to `why commercial law`, values/areas of work of a firm.

    Commercial thinking as the lowest scoring category. Gotta go to human rights practice it seems😅

    Unfortunately, I think it's a PFO. I applied around the same date and never heard back. However, I know that other people who applied at the same time got VI invitations and I think even AC invitations. That being said, of course, you should never lose hope.

    Haha, yeah I misread the question. I spent 3-5 hours preparing beforehand but as correctly pointed out, you get 2 minutes.

    Hi, I would say that in total around 3-5 hours excluding the time of the initial research I did before applying.

    Anyone heard from Irwin Mitchell post VI? (I think it didn't go that well for me but hope never dies).

    Ah ok thank you! I applied last year and got the test almost immediately so I started being afraid...

    Hi, I sent my application to Reed Smith on Tuesday but they did not even send a SJT to me.... Do you think it's a PFO?

    Does anyone know if Fieldfisher opened applications for this cycle? I can't find anything on their website.

    Hi, has anyone received a PFO from Bird&Bird post application? They send that they send PFO's as well as emails about successful applications. However, I was wondering if they send PO's right at the moment when they read and evaluate your application. Cheers.

    Has anyone applied to Bird&Bird for SWS? How much time does it usually get to get an answer?

    I asked NRF'S grad rec team to tell me how I scored on the WG but they told me that they cannot do it. Is it fine?

    From what I heard from other recruiters, different firms use different groups against which your performance is assessed. So, your percentile does not mean too much unless you know against whom you are measured. Consequently, there is no general standard that can give you a pass for all the firms.

    The higher. Good luck with your application!

    Hi, has anyone heard anything from Ashurst? I applied a month ago, and I had no feedback since... I guess it's a rejection?

    Same. They also said that I passed the initial screening. Have they done any sort of selection at this point? Should I be at least a bit happier :)?
