TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[ad.]

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!

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

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.

Is it just me or does the application cycle feel over now? I don't know which firm's to apply to next and I am feeling super anxious about it all! and still not one interview

Anyone know around what time period Freshfields gives out its WG test for the vac scheme?

 

[FCL25]

Still waiting to hear back from AG. I know some people have heard PFOs post-app but has anyone heard back post-VI yet?

 

[seaweed.bond]

How would one know they are ALL this week?

I think the original person may have meant that on the online AC scheduling system, the only AC dates were showing for this week. So they may have presumed that the only AC dates available were for this week.

Don't wait on AG. I applied back in May and received an update in September. I'm sure it won't be close to that but know they will take as much time as they need. If you completed the VI already, let's say the first week of Jan, then I don't think they'll avoid giving a response just before the end of Jan. Based on last year's correspondence.
