TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

I applied for Spring VS too in November but I have not heard anything. May I please ask what they said to you?

I applied mid-October, did first stage interview end of October and have an AC in 3 days. From what I can remember, I booked one of the first AC slots available, there were some slots a bit later this month as well I think.

Honestly, best of luck to both of us!! I'll keep you posted on how I get on, let me know how you get on too!!

How did it go !!!

Sorry, is that Addleshaw Goddard?

Yeah it is

 

[seaweed.bond]

Anyone hear from Katten?

I just looked on last year’s thread and there were several PFOs around mid-February. I think that because they’re non-rolling it might be a bit of wait

Congrats - good luck for your AC! I have just checked and I actually applied around the 25th October but still have not heard anything from them!

I’m in the same boat. I think they’ve only sent PFOs to those who failed to get the benchmark on their SGT. Those who then weren’t progressed after screening haven’t been sent PFOs yet…

I would rather they end our misery and not let us keep hanging though!

thank you! I hope you hear back soon with some good news!

Someone said that towers would let us know a week after the application deadline if we passed the test. Does anyone know if this is the case?

I haven't heard anything either 😅

I went to the open day at Trowers and they say they look at each application alongside the test result to decide who to progress to AC.

So I don’t think the test is pass/fail.

I thought that would mean there is still a thresh hold but those who pass will have both their test scores and applications looked at.

Also for their open day did you have to do an application or was it a first come first serve sort of thing?

Hi @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman I was wondering if you have any hints and tips for a written exercise that entails writing an article. Thank you!

 

[AlegalA]

Does anyone have good resources for written exercises where you need to write an article? I'm struggling to find info online

 

[EquityTraineeGPT]

Are all Millbank spring vac scheme AC’s out? Cos some1 said they r all this week, so unsure if we haven’t heard by now it’s a PFO?

Same boat, I am assuming so. It is really heartbreaking though since I put so much into it could have always done a bit more but still I was really hopeful.
