TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Wannabe_Lawyer]

Anyone heard back after completing the critical thinking test for AG? Pretty sure I didn’t do very well but don’t won’t to be left waiting until after the app deadline to actually receive a PFO

Have you heard back yet by any chance? I just did mine and it felt like a complete disaster... I also don't want to hold out hope.

scored in the 73% percentile for links, any idea if this is likely to pass the benchmark or not?

 

[sss.p]

anyone who appllied to V&E - is their training principal this year Scott Steigler or Andrew Nealon?

 

[LawAspirer]

Anybody got any reply from Latham / Goodwin / Pinsent Masons ?

88% percentile for Linklaters! Does anyone know whether they put more weight for the WG or their assessment?

Congratulations!

I scored 26/40 (65%) and got 27th percentile for Linklaters. Hope this is enough to pass the cut-off and have the application screened.

Read somewhere at Reddit that in the past a candidate with 40th percentile got the VS with Linklaters but someone with 99th percentile did not. So I believe it will be a mixed and holistic review of WG and application. The post also said that Hogan Lovells cut-off was 17th percentile in the past.

Spoke to grad rec and they confirmed that we are going to hear back after the deadline, i.e., 6th Jan.

how did you find out your percentile? did they email?

Yes, I did and they sent the WG results report in a couple hours.

Most likely will meet their benchmark. A percentile ranking benchmark that high is very rare.

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

maybe it is too early to ask but has anyone done the Kennedys test yet? if so, please can you say what kind of a test it is- WG or SJT or a mix? Thanks!

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

I think London should meet the threshold? They probably don't do sponsor a lot hence the confusion.

Did they say if they automatically reject applications from people who would not meet the skilled worker requirement? Even for vac schemes?
