TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Saumya]

DM me for info

Hi, would you mind sharing the same with me please

 

[Saumya]

Regarding Gibson Dunn, I had a first stage interview this week and the Graduate Recruitment team said that whilst a decision on whether to progress your application or not to the second (final) stage will come within 1-2 weeks, the second round of interviews will not take place until the new year.

Hi, can you share your experience, any tips/advice for the same please

Anyone heard back from Linklaters yet?

I have an AC with them because I went to their Open Day so I got to go through the fast-track process (for vacation scheme)

Have you heard more about the AC since applying? I also applied through the fast-track but haven't had anything back yet.

Hi all, does anyone know if Latham's spring vac scheme application is rolling or non-rolling basis?

 

[milliejeyes]

Hi, if anyone has any experience with Irwin Mitchells VI I would be grateful for any advice/tips thank you

 

[bibss]

Sidley's rolling basis right? How long have people usually been hearing back since submitting their written application?

I heard back 1 week after applying with an interview invite, but it can vary. Usually they have a pretty quick turnaround time

Hi everyone, does anyone know if Womble Bond Dickinson recruits only via their vacation scheme? thanks!

I think you apply for a training contract, but do a week's vacation scheme as part of the process for the TC (by the looks of their website anyway). Their website really encourages you to contact them, so I would put a query in just to check.

 

[BeGrateful.101]

Thanks! I felt the website was quite vague. I will get in touch with grad rec.

Hello! Did anyone apply for the Covington Burling Mentoring programme this year and receive a response?
I haven't received the outcome yet...

 

[j.s.cox]

Yes, I have!

Does anyone have any advice for the game-based assessments? TIA.

If this is for the Arctic Shores Assessment, the best advice I can give is to ensure you are taking it at a time where you feel mentally alert and then enjoy it as much as possible. There is very little preparation you can do. The firm I took this test for just wanted to understand my personality a bit more but I don't think they rejected anyone based off it. If this firm is going to reject you based off this test, it probably means they think your personality would not have fit into the firm. Either way, I wouldn't overthink it.

Just failed to meet the benchmark in HSF verbal reasoning and SJT test. Does anyone here have any resources to share to practice these kind of tests? So gutted rn after submitting such a strong application

Hey!

I'm sorry to hear this.

It costs money, but you can subscribe only for a month to get it, but the Commercial Law Academy has an amazing course on all psychometric tests, inc. WG, verbal reasoning and SJT. I went through it all, then sat and passed both HSF and CC's testing with high percentile scores. It WORKS!

For people who are still waiting for HL Lift Off, I saw on LinkedIn that someone has gotten an offer already. So I reckon we will hear back very soon!
