TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[NMA]

Found Latham's VI quite challenging :/ - Good luck to whoever's doing their one today!

Edit: Has anyone from the first batch heard back regarding ACs yet?

How long did those applying to Travers WVS have before receiving PFO/ invites?

I applied 6th October and received my PFO on 22nd November; 2 weeks before the WVS was due to start

 

[Narince]

has anyone heard back from Latham for a summer scheme?

 

[WillkieGemma]

I wouldn’t worry too much! 🤗 Especially if they explicitly say it’s practice/non-assessed . They just want to see how you behave normally. It’s totally human to blurt out something awkward or make weird faces 😁

Hi all,

We can't see your practice answers!

Thanks,
Gemma

For people who have applied to S&C and got put on hold, the grad rec said we can expect to hear back next week or so, and the interviews will commence before the end of Jan

macfarlanes PFO, expected it as i’m not at their target unis

I got an AC with an international qualification from North Africa ! So I don't think it is the only criteria.

Hi - wouldn’t worry too much as I think everyone is finding it challenging, like most VIs.

I got the VI early last week and haven’t heard back regarding an AC yet, if that helps.

Hey I‘m doing mine today. Would you mind sharing why you found it challenging or the types of questions you were asked? Thank you x

Invite for Macfarlanes assessment centre. I used the TCLA applications database to shape my application!

Has anyone completed an assessment centre at Macfarlanes or have any useful resources to share?

Thanks

For those who have a BCLP AC - heads up, the time slots are coming today! I just received mine

Is this for vac scheme or direct TC?

 

[F99]

For those who got the ‘application on hold‘ email from CC saying they would let us know in w/c 6th Feb if we get an AC, what do you think are our actual chances? Has anyone heard of this happening in past years and people actually being invited to AC?

which firm is CC?

 

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

I've been sent five video interview links for one firm - ofc this is a mistake, but does it matter which one I complete?

Edit: @Jessica Booker do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks

 

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

Assuming Clifford Chance

i received an email back from the recruitment team but not too sure whether this means i have been placed on hold?

[Ghassen]

If a Firm asks for more details about your international high school grades. Do I assume that my application looks interesting for them ?
Thanks.
