TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[AS24]

Hi guys, does anyone know what a GCA (General Cognitive Ability) Interview is and how should I prepare for it?
@Jessica Booker and @Ram Sabaratnam would love your opinion on this, I am a bit lost on this one.
Thank you in advance.

SJT + some WG style questions + long attention to detail test (detecting spelling and grammar mistakes). It’s just long.

I did mine yesterday afternoon and haven’t received a feedback report or an email confirming whether I reached the benchmark or not. The email does say we should hear back by Thursday next week. Best of luck!

Has anyone heard from W&C for the summer vacation scheme? I applied in October and have heard nothing.

White & Case VI OMG 🫨

Applied 5th of Jan and got the VI invite email around an hour or two ago. 🙂

Applied for both Spring and Summer because I am very indecisive. 😂

Has anyone got any insights into their VI? I would really appreciate it. 🙂​
