TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I just submitted an application for Fieldfisher's Diversity Access Scheme and for the "grade/level achieved", I put 2.1 since it didn't require a module breakdown. Would this be a problem for grad rec?
Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post WG? Do we have to email grad rec to see if we passed the test?
After completing the Watson Glaser I only got this email stating “ Thank you for completing your assessment for our Summer Vacation Scheme 2024 role.
We will be in touch soon with an update on your application.”

Is anyone still waiting for Gibson Dunn since submitting application?
Yeah I emailed and got a response with my score pretty quickly. The only other communication I’ve had is the same email you received
Just received my Willkie PFO 
Same.... I'm now waiting for Weil's PFO. So many people received their VI invites yesterday, I'm assuming they send all their PFO's out at the same time like Willkie.
Feel your pain wish Gemma could tell us why the really strong apps did not make it like did apps numbers go really high close to deadline but we move on.
Understand your point. Unfortunately, grad rec conveniently say for the large amount of apps they get, they can’t give individual feedback. But what confuses me is if they read every app they get before the deadline like they say on their website, how is it that they don’t note down points to evaluate each app (which one progresses or gets rejected). Surely, you are making a decision on some sort of ‘CRITERIA’. As an applicant, even if grad rec shares that criteria on the basis of which they’ve made the decision, I suppose that would help to some extent. But the fact that they don’t have time to offer feedback but to read every app that reaches them, doesn’t sit right with me. Makes me think how do they actually evaluate candidates…
Hi both
In the final five days prior to, and including, the deadline, I received just over 500 applications, nearly all of which I've read thoroughly (I still have a few more to read through). As the sole person in the team, I simply cannot offer bespoke feedback to every person that applies. Offering feedback along the lines suggested above, would result in generic feedback, which wouldn't be helpful to you (I can say this with confidence, having coached candidates in the past who have received generic feedback). I sometimes do have time to offer feedback, so there would be no harm in asking me, via my work email, but I cannot guarantee this will happen as it is a very busy time of year.
Thanks
Gemma
