    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I've just been invited to the Fladgate AC! This is my first cycle so it feels nice to have one in the diary and definitely takes the (slightly insane) pressure off a touch going forward.

    I did the test for Withers so long ago I'm convinced I'll be 70 before they respond.

    Did the VR/SJT on the 2nd of this month. I scored average for everything in VR except Comprehension and Interpretation where I scored above average - seemed a bit of a disappointing result to me overall. Top strengths were learning agility, resilience, and attention to detail.

    Walked past Mayer Brown's office earlier and manifested positive news from them. Lo an behold - I just got an invite to the job simulation!

    Congrats! I got a PFO with lots of very useful general advice that included "be available for a Training Contract in 2026". Good luck for the WG!

    I applied on the 12th of Jan, got the email about them looking forward to reading my cover letter on the 26th, and silence since. Assuming a PFO at this point for the sake of my own happiness.

    Honestly I think there's little value in these feedback reports from firms in general, but I do think the thing about "if you got right or left you just exhibit that quality a little differently from everyone else" was extra useless. Like, is that good? Is that bad? Definitely wouldn't assume...

    Also waiting on Cleary/Orrick/GD but I haven't seen anybody talking about getting responses for summer from any of them yet.

    I am furiously refreshing my inbox after all of the Baker McKenzie/W&C/CRS responses - surely after 5 on a Friday is the cruellest time to send out a PFO?

    Anybody have tips for the Fladgate VI? It’s only one question but I’d obviously prefer to be more than less prepared as I'm quite keen on them!

    Yes, I thought the same! Surely nobody who's serious is choosing "strongly agree" for anything that unbelievably negative. Very bizarre.

    Also PFOs from both Farrer and Jones Day today - I've had decent success passing the application stage recently so I was asking to get knocked down a peg or two sooner or later!

    I haven't heard from either but judging by other posts it's likely to be a PFO from CRS.
