TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[jacksollaf]

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?

Has CRS given out offers for their vacation scheme already?

 

[jojo23]

Their application portal is from 2003.

am i right in thinking WBD are supposed to get back to us this week post-test?

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...

Cooley put me out of my misery please and send me that pfo.

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

yes they said they would “aim” to get back to us this week! I am so curious and desperately waiting (cannot stop refreshing my emails ) I hope they get back to us today or tomorrow because the week is ending😭

Sorry to hear this, if we are rejected for vac scheme, can we make a dtc application in the same cycle for withers?

Anyone have advice for a final stage interview. I heard that the interview also includes a case study type scenario which is communicated verbally by interviewers. I’m feeling anxious about this and just generally the interview considering this is such a competitive firm 😭

Congratulations on landing the final stage interview for Goodwin!

Can I ask if this was for the DTC, and when did you hear back post VI?

I have not heard back from Goodwin since my video interview and Im wondering whether I should assume PFO.
