    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    For anyone who has applied to AG - it says to add your qualifications from A-levels etc., but the drop-down menu for institutions only contains universities. Am I being daft, or how did you add your A-levels?

    Does anyone know whether Simmons is like Pinsent in that they don’t mind if you do SJT and VI on separate days ? Can’t seem to find a day where I have time for both 🙃

    I think I remember them saying prose is fine. As for the test, it entails an SJT + Verbal + Numerical test followed by a written task and then a VI. The written task and VI will only be looked at if you pass their benchmark on the initial test ( but you complete them all back to back).

    Does anyone have tips for answering an app question on setbacks and overcoming them? I’m struggling to identify what they mean exactly by a setback- would a challenging scenario suffice, or do you have to have failed? This is for Ashurst if that helps. Any help much appreciated :)

    I reckon it could be a while - I know they don't fill placed before the deadline. I applied last week but am only receiving the test tomorrow. Assuming they might wait for everyone to complete it first.

    hey - wondering if anyone knows why Clifford chance has sent a wg invite even though I passed last year ? Does this mean they no longer take your old score OR are they allowing you the choice of a redo ? Any info/clarification is appreciated.

    Hey Guys, Anyone know whether Gowling has stopped doing summer vac schemes in London this year ? Seems only the schemes for Birmingham and direct TC apps for London have opened. Seems a bit odd that London vac scheme apps would open much later. Thanks !!
