TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[SoonToBeTrainee]

Also still waiting to hear from MDR, and Weil!! Seems like most ppl on here have heard back which is exciting for them but demoralising for me!

Weil are definitely just reviewing applications in order. If you applied after the 5/6th December, I wouldn’t worry at all

[Tintin06]

Ahh I still haven’t heard anything from them- did you contact them to enquire or did they email you?

Yes I emailed them about it.

 

[Law queries]

I didn't even get an email saying they would get back to us today, but maybe my fault for applying the day before the deadline?

Even I applied a day before the deadline. They sent this mail on Dec 2 - that they will get back on 16th

 

[yeezyee]

has anyone gone about asking for accommodations for a video interview? i have no idea how to go about it!

Hi @User5678 - it is just me in the grad rec team and in the week prior to the deadline there is a huge increase in applications - generally I will receive around 50% of applications in the seven days before the deadline. I read all applications from start to finish, therefore it can take some time to read through all. Some weeks candidates will hear back sooner than in other weeks - this is simply and only due to my capacity.

Thank you very much Gemma! I understand it is a very busy time and it takes time to go through each application in detail

Your response is reassuring, thank you again

Hi @Jessica Booker, @Andrei Radu and @Ram Sabaratnam,

I trust you are well.

I finished drafting my cover letter for Greenberg, the firm's website states that we can address it to the Graduate Recruitment Team but I was wondering if I should include my details (on the top) too. What do you think?
