TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[badmintonflyinginsect]

Happened to me with BCLP! Emailed them the same day that I got the open day invite (which was for February 2023) and they offered to put me onto the next open day (tomorrow!). I communicated how much I liked the firm and I think it resonated with grad rec so definitely show your enthusiasm for wanting to attend

Done! Thank you so much. Do you reckon rejecting a firm's Open Day invite will put me at a disadvantage when I apply for their Vac Scheme?

Received email a day after completing Akin test that I did not pass the minimum requirement. What is that? Most of the test was behavioral/SJT.

Hi @Jessica Booker and @axelbeugre

When an app asks for a recent commercial news, how far back can we go? I have a really interesting news story that was published in August, but I'm unsure if this would count as recent considering it's about 3-4months old.

I usually go no further than 12 months as most law firms ask a recent news story in the last 12 months. Hope this is helpful

Thank you everyone for the support I applied for the summer scheme for HSF and was exempt from their test as did the test in September for the AS mentoring scheme with HSF.

Sorry not sure if this was answered but are the responses that are coming in for HSF for the spring or summer vacation schemes? thank you

Think they are reviewing both of them together.
