TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Rina]

was this for a vac scheme or direct TC application? i knew a few average students that made it to vac scheme, but from the direct TC route none were average students.

If it helps, I have a 2:1 from an international university and will be interviewing for Direct TC soon

Sorry to hear about the rejection. May I ask are you rejected after being on hold, and when did you apply? Congratulations on your other TI invites too!!!

Thanks! No I wasn’t placed on hold - I think I applied on December 21st 😊

I thought you may have been slightly conceited with a username like that, but this has confirmed my hunch.

Does anyone know if everyone get invited to the Dentons test?

I used S&C in the cover letter and it was put on hold instead of being rejected, so I guess it's ok to use the abbreviation

did you hear back from S&C? My application was put on hold in November when I applied! But I am seeing that they are rejecting some people now!

Does anyone know if everyone get invited to the Dentons test?

no they screen applications before inviting for test!

Nope! They’re pretty strict with it too! I’ve applied a couple of times in the past and only got through to it this year! So congratulations if you did get through

Gibson Dunn AC

did you do it? can I ask you how was it and what article did you get?

 

[sxw517]

Don't suppose anybody knows how what emphasis Morgan Lewis places on recruiting from vac schemes?

Is the direct TC route still viable?
