TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[jazzzade]

Did anyone try to record their SQE results on Baker McKenzie's application page? If yes, where did you put them? Thank you.

Does anyone have any advice for the W&C VI? Happy to share AC insights for Cleary, HSF and Skadden.

Hey - when did you apply?

For W&C? I think it was like 23rd of November x

I was told by grad recruitment that they only look at applicants’ responses to the online questions (thoroughly) if you’ve passed the Watson Glaser, and that one reason they have it is to make their lives easier with less applications to review? Unless you mean something different?

was it a summer vs or spring?

Spring

 

[jacksollaf]

If I am in my penultimate year, do I need to add details regarding my SEQs (dates etc) or is it ok if we don't add them since it's a bit early to determine...

 

[jacksollaf]

Spring

Thank you! best of luck

Does anyone know how to submit module details for Addleshaw Goddard? Do I list them as individual qualifications in the qualifications section, or am I missing something?

 

[AnAnonymousDuck]

does anyone know if debevoise recruits on a rolling basis? the thread on here says TBC, does anyone have any idea?

 

[aspiringlawstudent123]

on the same note, does anyone know when the debevoise deadline is tomorrow?

 

[AnAnonymousDuck]

im not entirely sure, but i saw online that another deadline from previous years was 23:59 so that might be the case for the 2nd. deffo dont take my word for it though lol

I completed the HL WGT about a week ago and I haven’t heard anything although the deadline is the 3rd of Jan so maybe they’ll start making AC invite decisions after that.

I also did my Willkie VI last week and I think the waiting time is around 10-15 working days but since it is the xmas/nye period it might be that those who did their VI recently won’t hear back until mid Jan.

Thank you so much! Best of luck to you and hopefully see you at HG and Willkie AC!

Thank you for sharing! Don't worry, he who sows unceasingly will reap in due course! If you don't mind me asking, are the VS winter, spring, or summer (Linklaters, W&C, Covington, NRF... because I applied for their summer and haven't heard anything yet, so I am supposing a nice little new year PFO gift...)?

can't speak for the other firms but I didn't receive Linklaters summer AC invite until the end of Jan last cycle, hang in there and good luck!

Not on a rolling basis, applied yesterday and the confirmation email mentions they will wait for the application deadline

 

[Chris Brown]

Thank you so much! Best of luck to you and hopefully see you at HG and Willkie AC!

Likewise best of luck to you in this whole process and hopefully we will both get through to the AC’s for HL and Willkie!

 

[Mug Fan]

this is for the regular vacation scheme I suppose and not the dual degree in London and Paris ?

Yeah, just regular.

 

[futuretrainee101ac]

Yes, although I applied fairly early (mid October).

Thank you!! I applied mid-November, completed the test and received the feedback form, but yet to hear back !! Hopefully soon!

 

[CG_101]

does anyone know how common it is to get past the WG at Linklaters? Is it similar to CC, where only 20-25% get through?

 

[jacksollaf]

Anyone heard anything concerning the London and Paris summer placement with BCLP?

 

[James Wakefield]

With Reed Smith, are the VI and the SJT given together?
