TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Jessica Booker]

Does anyone know roughly when grad rec contacts referees? Is it pre or post interview? Just curious!

Firms will typically tell you when they are. Most will be post offer/post acceptance, although I do know some firms that get the academic reference when you are invited to interview.

guys I applied my dream firm and I got to the next stage. Yet, the deadline they said is at 12pm, therefore I thought the deadline is this midnight. Would you please let me know whether I can email them to ask for another link? I've been prepared this application for 3 months...

Does anyone have a list of firms that are still accepting apps for vac schemes?

Unfortunately firms tend to provide strict deadlines for a reason, so I would try to get the assessment done this evening.

You will need to call them tomorrow to ask, but be prepared for them to unfortunately say no. They maybe able to give you an extension but if they do I would expect you would need to do it fairly immediately.

Does anyone have any tips for the Gateley legal interactive assessment? Is there a maths aspect involved? I'm terrible at maths and have been sent an invite to do the assessment, I've been putting it off!

Has anyone else not heard back from Ashurst post-test? Some people have got interviews already. I've heard nothing.

Does anyone know how long jones day take to get back to you after the first-stage interview?

 

[greentyboo]

still haven’t heard from mishcon for VI… I applied on deadline day so there’s still hope but definitely feeling discouraged. It’s one of my top options— should I email grad rec and reiterate my commitment or will this send the wrong message? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

Has anyone who did an AC with Simmons in Jan heard back?

Hi guys my friend just did a video interview with white and case. She was in a foreign country with unreliable power because of a serious medical emergency and unfortunately as a result of this her power cut out mid video interview and her responses were submitted halfway through her second out of third question. She emailed grad rec explaining this to them. Do you think there is any possibility they will let her redo it?

Call them sometime after 9.30am tomorrow to see if it can be reset.
