    I received an email from Clifford Chance's grad rec team this morning: "We will send you the test in November. In the meantime, you can use our practice link on the ‘how we hire’ page of our website." - I am due to receive the WG test whilst others have received already!

    For those who have heard back, is this in relation to interviews? or PFO? 😅

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I would have no idea because it seems that GD have also sent out PFOs, so we are either in the maybe pile or just outright PFOs. Honestly, just reject me at this point🤣

    It's the exactly same for me!, I applied on 1st Sept because they recruit on a rolling basis and I spent so much time on my app. Why say you will recruit on a rolling basis when clearly interviewing backwards and giving offers out already? I don't think this is particularly fair. It's a shame...

    This is helpful, thank you. Although this sounds really appealing, a part of me really wants to keep pushing because I really really want this. Thank you for this! I hope the process gets slightly easier for us soon.
