TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[YS391]

Has anyone heard from Wedlake Bell post app? I know two people got interviews on Friday but was wondering if anyone else had got anything so far this week.

Yep I got rejected yesterday.

Anyone heard from mishcon?

 

[Jessica Booker]

Thanks Jessica, this is really helpful as I was beginning to think my application had got lost or I had been forgotten about!

This can easily happen, so probably worthwhile following up.

 

[Bread]

any1 heard from Winston and Strawn?

Nothing, and getting ghosted by HR as well :/

 

[AlegalA]

For people that applied to PMC but have not heard back - what is the "last update" date for your application on their website? Mine is 04/01, which is the day after the deadline, and idk if that just means they processed my app or if it means they had my answer of PFO/next stage on the 4th?? (In which case it's deffo a PFO but could've been informed ages ago)

 

[VVV]

Anyone know how long W&C takes post AC? Also how many people do they tend to interview per spot? Had a shocking one yesterday. Went in thinking it is meant to be one of the more straightforward AC's.

Anyone heard from mishcon?

Not yet! Hoping and praying haha

 

[Alessio1642]

Does anyone have any idea about how the rest of PW will work? Is it a likely PFO now? When are people’s interviews for and are they online or in person? TYSM!!

Man I’m just so tired. I’ve heard nothing from Orrick, I now see K&L are handing out interviews and I still haven’t heard. I am so so demoralised with all these PFOs. I felt like those two were my best apps. I lowkey wanna give up

 

[Chris Brown]

Nothing, and getting ghosted by HR as well :/

What’s going on with all these firms ghosting applicants? It’s low-key insensitive in my opinion. I haven’t dealt with it myself (yet) but I can imagine how demotivating and demoralising it can be for people that are getting ghosted (for no reason). 🥲

These firms all ask for communication skills but can’t communicate a simple application outcome, which is almost always a generic automated email anyway. Apologies for my small rant lmao. 😂​

In W&S's case, they can't even confirm an application receipt 😅
