    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I used a similar (ish) example in my vac scheme app for Dentons, about challenges around mentoring secondary school law applicants when I was nervous myself and I was successful in getting the vac scheme if that helps!

    Has anyone done the Kennedys AC and could provide any info on the micro assessments? Just wondering whether I should brush up on my maths etc or not.

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know the Clyde & Co conversion rate? Just got a vac scheme offer and obviously very grateful, but I know quite of few people who have done a VS with them and none of them got the TC offer, so I'm curious to see just how low it is!

    Thanks very much Jaysen and @Jessica Booker - it was totally my own fault for not acknowledging how much zoom university/apps and interviews really had taken it out of me and I'll definitely learn from this! But I agree, it's definitely best not to waste their time.

    Is it terrible form to cancel an assessment centre I have tomorrow at this late stage? I already have a vac scheme that clashes with it, I was just going to do the AC as practice and in the off chance that the vac schemes were cancelled/shortened because of COVID. But I just feel so unprepared...

    I did it on a laptop, I didn't realise you could do it on a smartphone! A lot of it involved how fast you could click your mouse etc so I'm not sure how it'd work on a smartphone, but I'd go with what you feel more comfortable with.

    Hey I did it last year and you can't really prep for it to be honest. However, if I'm right the psychometric test isn't a stand alone hurdle that you need to pass, I'm pretty sure I did terribly and I still got an AC so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Anyone know if Clydes have made their vac scheme dates available? I have an AC with them so would ideally like to know if it clashes with the vac scheme I already have before doing it.

    Does anyone have any advice for keeping up with case law when you aren't an LLB student anymore? I've been asked to prepare a presentation on a case from the past year for an assessment centre and I don't even know where to start. I've spent so much time trying to keep up with the business news...

    Does anyone have any experience of the Clyde & Co AC? The email didn't give very much away so I'm not sure what to expect.

    Thank you! I applied to Glasgow and applied on the deadline, so I count myself very lucky - not sure how their recruitment works but I think I might have done pretty well on the WG and that's why I was progressed so quickly? But that's just my theory haha

    CMS Academy offer!! Honestly in total shock because I thought the AC had gone terribly. Thank you so much to everyone at TCLA (including the lovely and encouraging people on this forum) for literally being the reason that I kept pushing through applications and interviews and still have (some...

    Anyone know how long CMS take to get back post-AC? Just had mine there and I feel awful about it, I waffled so much on the commercial questions in the partner interview so I am not hopeful and want to be put out of my misery already haha

    They just sent me another one, which actually specifies the rejection, but says good morning instead of good afternoon this time haha. Great attention to detail!

    I think I just got a PFO from Pinsent Masons? The email says "we appreciate you may be disappointed by this decision," without them saying what the decision actually is!
