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

[N.9]

Yep a Sterling rejection for me too!

When applying to Clyde & Co Vac Scheme, is it a necessity to complete their Forage internship? They ask on the application whether you have completed it or not

It won’t be necessary/expected.

what scheme is this for spring or summer?

Summer

i just got my Clyde and co report however the assessment centre is in the next 3 days and no outcome yet. I’m almost certain it’s a no because 2 days is really not a lot of time to prepare for an AC but weird they sent me my feedback report but not an outcome!

I got my report about 10 days after the VI (which I did on 22/10 for WVS) but still haven't heard a thing about their AC... the feedback report is auto-generated

yesterday afternoon

and when is your AC? i.e how much notice do they give you in advance?

 

[LongSufferingLawGrad]

Has anyone heard from White & Case post interview/AC? They told me it would be by the end of last week…

My interview was a week ago and I haven't heard anything!

Ashurst WVS!

My interview was a week ago and I haven't heard anything!

At the interview I didn't ask when they would get back to me but it's been 12 days since I had my AC. I emailed them on Friday asking if they could let me know when I'll hear back and have not got a response...

Sorry to hear that!

It is a busy time for Grad Rec, and I'm sure the team is simply weighing their options. In your case, it has been longer than the 10 or so days usually taken for an offer/rejection following interview, so perhaps give them a call.

This is more direct than an email, and you may receive an answer a bit quicker!

Hope you hear back with positive news soon!

They take direct TCs in the summer if they haven't filled their intake from vac schemes (but they usually do)

 

[M777]

anyone heard from akin gump?

 

[Tcapplicant]

Is anyone else having problems with emails from A&O? I have received my SJT results 4 times now…

 

[OB]

Anyone heard from EY yet? Or know of a contact email to ask when we would hear. Would have to book the day off work if I got on the Experience Day next week!

Please could anyone shed light on Travers' PFO email:

"We are sorry to inform you that we will not be holding any further interviews. We realise how disappointing this is but we have experienced a higher volume of applications than usual and are unable to interview everyone who has applied. Unfortunately, due to this volume we are also unable to provide feedback at this stage.

If the firm is still of interest, please visit our website for further information about applying for the Summer Vacation Schemes next year.

Once again, please do accept our sincere apologies for the delay you have experienced. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for the interest you have shown in Travers Smith."

Is this an outright PFO- do I need to wait until next cycle to re-apply? Or is it telling me to do another application from scratch for this cycle's SVS as they couldn't read my WVS app?

I'm taking it as an outright PFO but allowed to apply for a Summer vacation scheme, applied early enough in the cycle for them to have read my application in my mind. Could well be wrong but choosing to take a more positive outlook

I asked NRF'S grad rec team to tell me how I scored on the WG but they told me that they cannot do it. Is it fine?

 

[m.aspiring.lawyer]

Did anyone attend the Clyde & Co AC today? I hope it went well for you! Are you able to give any insight on how long each aspect of the AC was? I am really unsure what to expect from the interview in terms of how long it is going to be! Thanks
