TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

I assume, like me, no one has still heard about either. I guess I should assume rejection for the first date?

Applied as well, and haven't heard back...

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, when did you do yours?

what about you?

 

[RSK]

what about you?

I did mine last Thursday

 

[evianmineral]

have people heard back from any of the bakers open days?

 

[sjr22]

for those of u who have done the cov AC - completely forgot to ask, but does anyone know when we will hear back?

Have most people been rejected from Ashurst today?

some time next week

Tell us about a situation where you have demonstrated initiative and the result? - in a question on application like this where there it is limited to 300 words, is it worth briefly putting a sentence in about something I could have done differently and why?

I completed the Dechert assessment today and it was quite challenging with the time constraints but I had the thought that maybe some individuals might have used AI to help since there wasn't a camera feature. I didn't but I wonder do firms detect that thoroughly?

 

[EK_27]

Has anyone heard back from the NRF Black Aspiring Lawyers open day yet? It’s next Thursday, is it likely I’ve been rejected considering the time frame?

They said in under 2 weeks

 

[Filosof]

Have we had anybody who has progressed past the WG for Hogan Lovells WVS yet?

 

[lolololol]

has anyone else not received the dechert assessment?

 

[legalxp2]

Simmons PFO bc they are ''at capacity'' and ''can't transfer my application to another scheme'' 😢

this has happened to me two years in a row now!!

Amen!

If its optional, the firm does not need it to make a decision on your application. It is most likely a default setting on their application software that they can't remove.

Thanks Jessica.

Explain that to the firm - I am sure they would be able to consider increasing the amount they reimburse. Its stupid if they don't because the flowers in their reception will cost more than your train ticket!

Thank you for this advice Jessica. I have sorted it now. They increased the budget and I got a hotel too. Great point about the flowers!!!
