TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Really? I submitted on a Sunday and had the WG at 9:30 the next day, assumed they did an eligibility screen at most rather than a full review of the app- Rob93

I've found that I'm a lot more on top of things when I approach applications as a constructive process - even if a given application doesn't work out, the act of producing the application has its own value in terms of improving my writing, helping me to refine or better articulate my...- Rob93

I think the application is a soft screen for minimum grades, but most people seem to get the test. Ultimately the test is the main assessment given that the app just has an activities Q. Can be a bit of a delay , I think it took about a week for them to send it after I applied.- Rob93

You have a week after they're sent to you to complete them. Test is in two main blocks - SJT, which is similar to those run by other firms, and a verbal reasoning test which is a bit unlike anything I've come across elsewhere as it's split into a few sections which test a broader range of...- Rob93

I think I've heard of people around ~30th getting through. WG is a very minor component for Links, CAPP is the main driver of their decisions- Rob93

Does anyone have any strategies for deciding what to keep and what to scrap from an old application while reapplying to the same firm? I'm planning to rewrite my applications but want to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater.- Rob93

This is entirely speculative, but I have a suspicion that part of what Links is looking for is a correspondence between the traits you display in the SJT scenarios and how you present yourself in the self-assessment bits.
