TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[PlimptonWeld]

Just took my Linklaters WG and it says my application is ‘on hold’.. Does it say the same for everyone else?

If it's "on hold", does that mean we've passed the WG threshold?

Clifford Chance TC AC invite. Yesss!

Huge congratulations!

If it's "on hold", does that mean we've passed the WG threshold?

I was wondering the same.. Last year my application percentage was 66% and this year it says 77%? So I am not sure..

Can we abbreviate Paul Hastings to PH in applications to them?

I've just come across that powerpoint slide 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Does anyone know what Kirkland and Ellis A level requirements are? It says AAB online, but can't find that anywhere on their website

Has anyone heard from HSF for summer?

I just heard back about AS for the Spring!

When answering…
“Choose one of Addleshaw Goddard's practice areas or sectors and tell us about a major change in law or government policy that clients in that sector/practice area are facing and what opportunities that creates for us”
How recent does the change need to be, is 2022 okay or is the more recent the better?

Gibson Dunn SVS AC invite )))
Also, Clifford Chance TC AC (noticed the email got sent to my spam bizarrely from Candid)

5 ACs for January is a fever dream. Would love to thank the TCLA Community for all their help and support and hopefully I'll be able to convert at least one

Besides the wave of Latham PFOs last week, did anyone receive positive news?

I know one guy who got the AC for spring

Does anyone know if Cleary Gottlieb is recruiting on a rolling basis for the vac scheme this cycle?

I think they are, I know one person got an AC back in late Oct, though I could be wrong.

Anyone having issues with CMS VI? My status says error and it keeps telling me to try later (which i still cant) - I reached our to CMS team and awaiting their response but in this case they would give me extension if the issue doesn't get fixed until the deadline right?? 🥺😭

Hi, not sure if this is helpful but I had the same error when using chrome and it was fine once I used safari instead, maybe try a different internet browser.
