TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Wow, Mishcon VI invite! Applied 3 hours before the deadline.

I've never done a VI before so I'm excited and nervous now. Any tips would be really appreciated.

Haha! I think I've done the same mistake as you! Submitted the application even before thinking that such option could exist 😅 Will know the future though!

Yes, in addition to the options mentioned earlier you also get one review if you're part of the TCLA scholarship programme.

I'd suggest be smarter than me and get it reviewed before submitting to the law firm. 🤣

Where are you Simmons, why can’t I find you ? Why have you gone away

Has anyone else not yet heard back from Milbank? I know they have had ACs so incoming PFO i assume...

There must be something special about 3pm on a Thursday. Received Milbank, Vinson & Elkins and Osborne Clarke PFOs in the space of 15 minutes. Got W&C VI this morning though so not all depressing

 

[VMS]

Anyone heard from Bakers post-app who applied on/after the 25th Jan, and anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post-WG who applied mid-Nov onwards for Summer?

May I ask when did you apply to OC? Congrats on the W&C VI!

That's me! I've got so many WGT and VI's to do, I cant keep up. I'm probably missing some.

OC PFO. That's one less firm to worry about 🤣

Sorry about OC, but congrats on passing to the next stages with other firms!
