TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[rvvacscheme]

does anyone who has done the Mayer Brown simulation/VI have any advice/insight? just trying to gauge how much research on the firm is required to answer the VI questions - whether there are any motivational questions in the mix or if they're strictly related to the simulation

I am sorry to hear that, it seems like they are letting people know as soon as the application is reviewed which I guess is better than leaving you hanging or prepping for a VI wasting your time. Can I ask when you submitted your application I know that they recruit on a rolling basis but they maybe reviewing applications based on the date they were sent.

Yes, London office. I applied on 5th Dec.

is it okay to re-use application question answers from the last intake if you managed to get quite far in the application process? I don’t want to write something different because I know it works so i want to double check @Jessica Booker @Amma Usman

[fcac98]

When did everyone hear back from Kennedys re feedback after doing the SST?

 

[fcac98]

Does anyone have any advice for the Withers VS application form? The word count is like 60 words and questions are very vague. so do i choose 1-2 points to talk about in fair amounts of detail....? Not sure if there's a specific format that is recommended.

thank u

I got invited to do their test (haven't done it yet), I just chose one point to focus on for each. I chose one thing and then expanded on that, most of my answers were just two sentences

Do firms usually progress candidates this close to the new years? I assumed that there wouldn't be any VIs or next stage tests sent to be completed between 25th to 2nd

 

[Zaraa.x]

Does BCLP send a feedback report after you finish taking the test? If so, how long does it take to recieve?
