TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[bibss]

If you include all the relevant module grades in the application form, I do not think you need to necessarily also include them in the CV - especially GCSE and A level grades. I was successful in my Slaughters VS application and my CV only included university module grades + overall grades at A Levels.

Thanks for this!

hi!

does anyone have any interview tips?
i am planning to do a starr breakdown of my experiences for different competencies etc then i'm planning to practice saying it - is this sufficient or is there a better way to do this ?

I found the maths tests stupid... I gave up on the test where you had to pick whether the equations were equal or if one was bigger. I just guessed, I didn't even bother looking at the numbers because which human could add up numbers on both sides in 5 seconds???!!!!

The issue in the test was TIMING!! couldn’t agree more!! If we had some more time it would be so much easier to crack it

Is anyone else unable to see their entire application once it's been submitted for Hogan Lovells' winter vac scheme?

Assuming NRF test is automatic, how long after applying did you get the test?

Yes it’s automatic, I got it like 10 minutes after applying. Be sure to check your junk mail!

Does anyone think there is much point in delaying vacation scheme applications until the outcome of open day outcomes, even where the vacation scheme applications are assessed on a rolling basis? Would it make more sense to just apply to the vacation scheme first?

It is worth applying for a vacation scheme if the deadline is in 8 days and the firm reviews on a rolling basis? Should I wait for the firm to open the applications for the summer vacation scheme?
