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

    In my opinion, It's good not to leave it blank so long as you have something worthwhile to talk about. There was a similar question in the CMS app and I used to talk about when I was assigned a difficult task at work, how I went about tackling it, and what the outcome was. Since it isn't...

    Is anyone else still waiting for an update from Bird & Bird post WG? I applied for the Spring Scheme and did the test quite a while ago so I'm a little worried.

    I hope everyone is enjoying the festive period! I have just received my CMs VI invite and I wanted to ask those who have done it how they found it and what a good way to prepare would be. Thank you!

    I really hope so! the first email said that the deadline will be 11:59pm today once we accept the invite, but there's no way of accepting the invite other than by starting the interview. Very strange.

    Congrats to everyone with CMS ACs! I sent my app of earlier this month and completed the WG last week but haven't heard anything since! Do you think I left it too late, or might there be another round of VIs in the new year?

    Hi everyone. For my upcoming AC I have to give a presentation on a fairly niche topic (in light of Brexit, should Scotland be able to have another referendum & what should the questions be). I know that I'll have to state my opinion, present both sides of the argument & back up mine, answer the...

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way :( it's been a tough cycle for me as well. But I'd deffo still do some apps for the 30/31st July deadline, even if it's just to a couple of firms out of the six which you especially like. Wishing you the best of luck :)

    According to their website the opening date for TC applications is still to be confirmed. I think its dependent on the outcome of their summer schemes.
