2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Ricky]

Does anyone know how long does Mayer Brown take to get back to candidates after the Verbal Test? Also, am I screwed if I didn't do well on the test? Scored "average" on the best. Don't know what went wrong, usually do well on those. Hope it turns out well.

I got four average and one below average. Don't worry

Congratulations on getting an interview! Would you mind me asking when you completed the test for BCLP?

Thanks! In December

Nope - I did my WG on December 30th if that helps!

 

[Legalmel_99]

Anyone heard from AG or Walker Morris??

I don’t know if this helps but I got my rejection from Walker Morris last year on 27/01/20? So I assume that they will be sending out rejections and next stages hopefully next week?

How long did it take to get your report? I did it last week and still waiting, not sure if I should email them

Just curious now to see if anyone was actually successful with SPB?

 

[Honcho37]

CMS VS offer . I did the AC 2 days ago, quick turnaround!

Btw, not sure if this has been flagged, but I'm an active/previous user, and I can't seem to log in through Google(hence why I made this account) (believe me, tried so much to make it work), so just letting the team know! Great job on the redesign TCLA team! Looks sleek!

I haven't yet heard anything back from them, maybe just a delayed rejection...

 

[M1999]

Also PFO from SPB, I applied in the same week as the deadline as well

I don't know about any of you but I found the rejection email quite patronising? Where it said "Unfortunately in this instance we did not feel your application demonstrated all of the above to the level required. Due to the volume of applications we have received, we are not in a position to offer you individual feedback on your application. However it may be possible for you to receive such feedback from a careers advisor at your university; they should be able to help you identify which areas can be improved and how best to achieve this." - I don't think they even read my application! I don't go to university, graduated years ago and have been working ever since... I know you sometimes you can go back to your university careers service, but I still found it a little patronising

I agree, tbh I find it was meant to be helpful but a generic feedback is really not helpful imo.

Hope we both hear some good news from them soon! Which OD did you attend if I may ask?

2nd December. you?

I did my WG on 13 Dec, invited to interview 29 Dec, interviewed on 11 Jan but haven’t heard back since if that helps. Thinking it’s a PFO tbh :/

Anyone heard from Mayer Brown post-phone interview? My interviewer told me I'd hear back by mid-January, assuming they're just very busy? (I hear their GR has two people as well, so it's understandable)

 

[lol123456781]

Hi, I have an upcoming Dentons telephone interview as well. Could I message you? Thank you

Hi, I have a Dentons telephone interview. Do you have any tips you wouldn't mind sharing. I am new to TCLA so not sure how to direct message sorry

Huge congrats on your VS offer!!

Sorry you had to make an entirely new account to share the news. Can confirm Jaysen is already working on the Google log in issue!

Waiting patiently. I spoke to Callum last week and he said that they are very busy and only two of them working so will get back to us ASAP.

Has anyone heard back from Allen & Overy post-SJT?

I got my rejection from A&O TC today. I applied mid Dec for the TC.

Same with me, not getting the hopes up after the mass rejections today 😖
