TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Jessica Booker]

Do firms always review applications in chronological order of receipt?

No - there can be various methods of how things are reviewed and often it can be quite random based on factors like people’s availability.

How long did people wait to get their feedback report from the Macfarlanes test?

 

[andrecsaa]

Macfarlanes no, got a low 2:1 with extenuating circumstances and was progressed to AC

Did you progress to AC in this cycle? Could you share when did you apply?

 

[lawyersum]

Did you progress to AC in this cycle? Could you share when did you apply?

99.9% sure they were talking about last cycle as Macf do not recruit on a rolling basis

Just received Goodwin VI! Any insights would be much appreciated, I have insights into Willkie and Weil VI!

 

[Tintin06]

we need an update!

Nothing to report since that update. I've reviewed my applications recently though. I think Bakers is a rejection. I also think Cooley is too. Possibly White & Case = rejection. These apps aren't that great, honestly. Feeling more positive about some others.

Goodwin vi, wow, I’m shocked!

Any insights on Goodwin's VI? Advice would be much appreciated!

Goodwin VI invite Rahhhh🦅

On a serious note does anyone know whether their vac scheme is paid since they made no mention of salary on their website?

 

[yasmars]

Has a VI always been part of Goodwin’s application process or is it new for this year?
