TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[IT7]

Anyone know how long W&C take to reply post AC? They said at the end of the interview I should expect to hear within 1 to 2 weeks, but it’s been almost 3 weeks now and I still haven’t heard anything.

Should I presume that’s bad news?

Has anyone got a response from Grad Rec about when they'll be getting back to people post-AC?

Clyde & Co TC offer post-Spring VS!

Thank you all for the help over the past couple of years, this forum has been the most influential when it came to working on my application and interview technique. Good luck to everyone, wishing the best for you all 🤞🏼🥳

This is fantastic news! Congratulations

Anyone heard any news from Stephenson Harwood? I applied for their summer VS in October and still no word... I have emailed before asking for updates so need someone else to take one for the team now 😅

I believe they are on the written exercise / interview stage right now and hoping to conclude the entire process by mid-May

Browne Jacobson PFO post- TI. Make that two ACs, two TIs and one VI. It seems that whenever recruitment get the chance to hear or see me its a rejection🤬🤬

I am just mentally exhausted at this point😔

‘The interest for places on our 2023 summer vacation scheme has been significant and calibre of applications has been exceptionally high, so you can perhaps count yourself a little unlucky that the competition this year is so high.’

I am wailing at this. What an odd thing to say

Are you being serious? Was this actually said in the email?

BJ pfo, was aware of the impending pfo as I accepted a clashing VS 😄 Last application I'm waiting on is Kingsley and after that, it's a wrap for this year!

I got no vacation scheme this year, i give up. I realised I might actually not be that interested in commercial law. If I want to be a solicitor within another area of law, how does that work? They don’t offer vacation schemes do they?
