TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[marrr]

Does anyone know what time Mishcon applications close tonight? I assume 11:59pm?

 

[77777law]

If it’s late 2021, I think it’s fine as it will be just over two years. If it’s early 2021, I would try to find something more recent, just where it’s closer to 3.

Thank you Jessica!

Really dire situation here: I had some major technical difficulties when submitting my Mishcon de Reya app, which led to me submitting it just now. I received a confirmation email from MDR, but I'm debating if I should contact grad rec since it was 5 minutes past the deadline.

I had technical errors also with Macfarlane's. Can I send them this as proof?

I am assuming it went through? The same thing happened to me for another app and it somehow submitted past the deadline which didn't end up being an issue. As long as you got the 'Thank you for applying to Mishcon de Reya, your application has been successfully submitted.'

The same thing happened to me before with another firm but got completely ignored, but it might be worth giving it a shot anyway?

Kirkland & Ellis Video Interview

Hi, Has anyone got any advice/past experience with the K&E video interview? I worked hard on my application and I don't want the video interview to bring my application down. If anyone has advice/experiences to share, it would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, it did go through and I got the email but on the system, the application time was recorded as 00:05. I was panicking so I didn't even get a chance to save the application to my PC or do a final review before sending it off.

 

[Charlottehollyx]

Yes Summer VS, received email earlier today, applied early December.

I applied in October and haven't heard anything (
