TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[hel]

Hello, does anyone know when we are supposed to complete the Watson Glaser for Milbank? Thank you!

 

[VacSchemer]

Yes, I've got an AC tomorrow

Good luck with your AC! When did you complete your test and manage to hear back from them? It’s been about a week for me so a bit anxious😅

 

[ashwright]

I have an Assessment centre for Linklaters next week, just wondering if anyone has any tips or has experience doing this AC?

Good luck!! You’ll smash it 😎🍀
May I ask when you applied? Also, did you notice whether your progress was at 66% or 77% & said ‘on hold’ or anything else?

Yes, I've got an AC tomorrow

Congrats! is this for summer?

 

[ashwright]

If anyone attended the Linklaters event today, was there an update on when we might hear back?

 

[g.cl.2020344]

any1 heard back from Withers post-test?

 

[shays]

anyone knows if it is possible to reapply to HFW for TC after being rejected for VS this cycle?

 

[ish12345]

I’m in the same camp of not hearing back.

Unfortunately there have already been ACs (let alone AC invites) so I’m definitely assuming a PFO.

I see how disappointing. I had to redo the VI 3 times because of technical issues so only submitted it on Jan 10th but would you say it's still reasonable to assume a PFO?

I’m afraid I don’t know in your case.

Thank you! I did my test on the 7th and got the AC invite on the 10th. It's for summer as they only have summer VS!

HFW PFO, this is getting ridiculous now, all I need is a PFO from Linklaters and Latham & Watkins and let me be done with it

 

[BreadandButter]

Does everyone have to wait for their posts to be approved before them being posted? I find it very restricting and leads to your questions or messages being lost In the forum as it is very active.

Sorry to hear that. Do you mind telling me when you applied?

 

[Alessio1642]

Same here I haven’t heard from HL or W&C.

I Applied to HL mid Dec did WGT Xmas eve. I Applied to W&C 5th Jan and no response yet.

They both receive a lot of applications and are rolling recruitment. It’s a waiting game at this point. 🥲🥲

HAHA honestly! I applied to Hogan all the way back in October, did WGT over the holidays and still waiting.

 

[g.cl.2020344]

any news from NRF post- test, sorry just trying to keep up with which firms r progressing to the next rounds.

 

[Chill_solicitor]

Anyone hear back from Freshfields SVS Post WG?
