TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[AS24]

I think it makes for a nicer and more formal look if you can include your details as well - it may just be an aesthetic preference in my case, but I really like a cover letter that looks similar to an actual letter. That said, it is definitely not a requirement, and I would only advise you to do it if this is possible without messing up your formatting or cutting away too much word count.

Thank you, @Andrei Radu

Same here! how are you planning on preparing? I was considering the written exercise tcla bundle, but that looks like a 48-hour turnaround from booking to actual feedback, and the exercise is at 9:30 on Friday, so probably not enough time.

Lots of prayer and brushing up on PE, M&A stuff.

Are ACs out for Latham?

It was end of last year. However, that may change this time.

Is the hogan lovells WG automatic??

I don't think so. I applied about 3 weeks ago and never received an invite to WG. How long after did you receive your invite? I'm thinking about contacting them because if I'm honest they're one of my top 3 choices.

Agree with this. Applied for the direct TC. Didn't get an automatic Watson Glaser.

It was post Watson Glaser! I just can't seem to hack the test clearly 😂

Sorry to hear I recommend TCLA’s resources on the test but I know it’s still hard. Good luck!

Has anyone heard back post WG from Cleary and if so how long after the WG did you hear back?

88% percentile for Linklaters! Does anyone know whether they put more weight for the WG or their assessment?

My understanding from GR is that your application gets reviewed after you pass. So it is automatic.

congrats! how'd you hear back? Did you ask them for it?

This is impressive! I think they put more weight on the assessment - my friend got 99% percentile on WG but still got rejected and she thinks it’s because of the assessment and her grades. Which is annoying because that score could have possibly ensured her to pass through the stages elsewhere.

Yes, emailed Grad Rec asking for my WG score
