TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Chris Brown]

This wouldn't need to be a reasonable adjustment - you'd be welcome to take in anything into the presentation to help you present unless the firm has said otherwise in the instructions.

However, I wouldn't go with a script as you may be reliant on reading it rather than engaging your audience. Instead I would recommend more notes/pointers for what you will say so that your delivery style is slightly more natural rather than scripted.

You can however, take any written documents into a presentation with you to help you present, and if you think a script is better for you, then you should do that. I just tend to find people end up reading from the script too heavily and tend to get less eye contact with their audience than if they used more shorthand/notes.

WTH I just received an invite to Milbank's AC for their LevFin programme!! Genuinely thought it would be a PFO

Hi guys! I just got a Milbank LevFin Track AC and was hoping for any sort of insight into Milbank's AC! I'm really pleased as this is the first time I've got to the assessment centre stage (after a lot of rejections...) I'm a non-law student so I also welcome any tips on how to tackle ACs in general coming from my background.

HFW AC in the morning/today technically; hopefully I can secure something 😂

Dear friends,

Does anyone have any indication as to when Linklaters may grant a verdict on my application for their summer vacation scheme?

 

[saminoriya]

Hi, when did you apply and when did you receive your invite please?

I applied on last day before deadline, like 3 hours before the deadline😅 They sent invite yesterday and looks like there are just 72 hours to do a VI

 

[kokoprep]

White & Case interview!! would appreciate any insight/advice as i’ve never done an AC before

Hey when did you do the VI, could you please share date? Congratulations and good luck!

Has anyone heard back with AC for Travers, Sidley and Latham Summer? Can you please quote and share when you received the interviews?

I don’t think anyone has heard back from TS. I applied on the 12th Jan and the deadline was on the 16th (non-rolling). 🙂

Based on last year’s forum, interview invites were being sent out from mid Feb to March. 🙂

Best of luck for Travers Smith! 😀

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.
