TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[xxx]

Just sent off my application for Sidley... is this going to put me at a disadvantage?

Don’t worry since it’s sent now. You did what you could and it’s in their hands. If you fit the firm they will pick you up regardless of when you applied before the deadline.

Hi @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam @Jessica Booker ! Are there any threads of examples of commercial (not corporate) case studies anywhere?

Congratulations!! Can I ask when you did the test?

I completed it on the 6th of November!

Heya congrats! when did u apply for RPC- I applied a while ago and can’t remember if this is the round directly after an initial application?

I applied 27/12 but there was a WG stage after which I did 2 days ago

I’m also applying to Covington and struggling with these questions! 🥲

Any help would be really appreciated!! 🙂

AI question you can answer at least 4 ways:

* I use AI as part of my research strategy but I didn't use any of its ideas on this occasion
* I used AI as part of my research strategy. I found point X, which it made, to be useful, and researched it before adding it to my answer in my own words.
* I often use AI but don't use it in writing answers because inauthentic
* I use AI as part of my proofreading process to help me spot errors in my content.

Why would Forsters go through the trouble of telling us they’d respond by today, only to not respond today 😂? Unless they’re planning on sending out a late-night email…

They seemed so definitive and sure about it; would not look good if they fail to deliver on time 😂 😂

To anyone who has passed through to an AC following a VI for AG, or any firm, how long did you have to prepare for the AC after finding out? I'm hoping its at least a week in between.

heya for mine I've typically had around 7-10 days, but I know some firms may only give you 5 days while others maybe a month!

 

[confusedbird]

does anyone have insight or resources for the eversheds internal meeting simulation for the ac? its my first ever ac and idk how to prepare for it so any insight would be appreciated.

i'm in the same boat!
I'd appreciate any advice on the ac in general because it seems like they've changed its structure and only have the simulation and an interview now?

Taylor Wessing written exercise invite! Has anyone done it before ? Having no idea what to expect, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
