TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Adithi]

Hi everyone, I don’t usually have long posts on this, but I’m feeling kinda helpless. I’m an international student and though it is only my second year and first round of applications I feel that I have failed. I have a few more law firms to get back to me but I’m sure that those are PFOs as well. I have only one more chance for applications and I feel quite lost. I don’t know what I’m going to do in the meantime, so any advice would be much appreciated.

For a bit more of context, I applied to a total of 35 firms, of which I got to the final stages of 2 and I’m waiting to hear if I got the the final stage of 2 more and I got put on reserve for 1.

They're definitely monitoring this thread.

😂 😂 😂 I didn't mean it in any way; I just meant it as a figure of speech because a few people were talking about them and I also asked whether anyone heard back from there a couple of minutes before receiving a PFO from them 😂😂😂

Has anyone received a rejection from Marriott Harrison?

Anyone have any advice on how to chase a firm that keeps moving the goalposts on when they're going to get back to you? At first the firm told me it would be the 27th of Feb. They didn't come back to me by then so I chased it up and they said it would be the 3rd of March which has come and gone too. I have other offers so I really need an answer and I have made the firm aware of this but they don't seem to have taken it on board!

PMCs communication is terrible. Have not heard anything from them since I applied on the 12/12, apart from the automated "thanks for submitting". Nothing when they closed applications, nothing to explain the ridiculously long wait, nothing after I emailed them three weeks ago now to get an update. Their application was SO lengthy as well. They've done all their ACs too, like I genuinely don't understand why they don't send PFOs at that point or at the very least answer emails??

Agree. I applied to PMC on the deadline and I haven’t heard anything either. It’s so frustrating

Hey! Can I ask if you applied for the spring or summer scheme?

Hi I applied for the spring, what about you?

Their application portal is from 2003.

Just out of curiosity, did anybody who applied to stephenson harwood within 2 weeks of the deadline tick all the scheme dates (spring summer 1 & 2)?

I sent my application like 1-2 days before the deadline and selected Spring, Summer 1 and Summer 2. 🥲​

I havr a sneaking suspicion that like like every other firm, they'll take a lifetime to respond...

I agree. I also emailed for an update about a month ago and have heard absolutely nothing! Very frustrating.
