TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Untilwinter]

idk man, I applied end of December and not heard back... not looking good for me :/

Anyone else not heard back from Reed Smtih about VI?

I genuinely loved my Reed Smith app. I thought it was one of my best this cycle but havent heard back🥲

Exposing myself for being last minute but does anyone know if you can apply for both the spring and summer vacation schemes at Milbank? It lets you tick both boxes and doesn’t say anywhere on the website that you can’t but usually firms only let you apply for 1 or have it as a 1st/2nd choice scenario

I'm in the exact same position, I applied 28 December off the top of my head and haven't heard back and seen people who applied after who have 😭

Ah well, until it's a PFO, it's not a PFO, so have to maintain faith.

Oh gosh 🙁 Hope you hear soon. I know it’s not ideal, but I’ve had some success with last min apps before so figured it would be worth a try. Like some others have said on here, the deadline is the deadline for a reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey! Would you mind telling me what the questions were for the eversheds VI please? Doing mine tomorrow

thank you! i don't remember the questions in detail but i think it's best to explain what you would do/ what skills you'd draw on and most importantly answer all parts of their questions. good luck!!

I 100% agree. Even when it's a rolling deadline, it's worth sending in an application one minute before the deadline if you can. Of course, you'd rather have got it in sooner, but there will be people who have done last minute applications and landed TCs.

At the end of the day, if you submit a last-minute application, you give yourself a chance. If you don't, you don't. That's how I view it anyway.

Very last minute does anyone know the specific closing time for Watson Farley and Williams, they just say 8th January on everything I can find?

Repeating my Simmons deadline question because I got confused the first time

I was invited to the test on Thursday 28th and starting from tomorrow (aka the 29th), I have ten calendar days to complete the test. Would I be able to do it tomorrow?

I am aware that this is very last minute. Thank you so much in advance

@Jessica Booker

I think today is your last day.

 

[sibs23]

Out of interest, how many app cycles have people done?

6th cycle for me and still trying to stay positive✨

 

[EliteWhovian]

I think today is your last day.

Oops I thought it would be 10 calendar days from the Friday 29th since Thursday wasn't included, meaning I have until tomorrow

 

[Mike Wazaoski]

What is the best site to practice Cappfinity situational judgement and critical thinking tests for Macfarlanes?

Also do people know if it's automatic?

It is automatic
