TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[simplyfaith]

@BreadandButter just curious as to why you have you put ‘🤣’ under most of my comments and under other people’s comments.

Not sure what’s funny or amusing about people needing reasonable adjustments due to their neurodiversity or struggling with navigating the application cycle. Also I’m not sure what’s amusing about people receiving PFO’s and feeling upset about them. I don’t know how going to a comp state school and being a first gen uni student is a funny thing either.

I wouldn’t normally say anything like this but I just find it really strange and insensitive. 🤨

Out of a total of 76 reactions made by BreadandButter as of 17:33, 49 of them are haha reacts. That's 77.6% haha reacts.

BreadandButter is currently on a streak of 20 haha reacts, tied with their previous streak of 20 haha reacts.

It was this or checking Outlook again

Now that the LevFin ACs have been finished, do you reckon we'll hear back from Milbank by next week?

Sorry about this. They are upset that they have been warned about their behaviour in the forum (and sending very hostile messages to our moderator) and they're taking it out on community members. They have now been banned.

Hi guys, hope you both get good news from HFW soon!

Would you mind letting me know when you applied?

Hi! Thank you. I applied in October.

Morgan Lewis SVS telephone interview invite.

So so happy for you!!!!

This is quite scary considering they have got SVS offers from HSF and AG! I hope they aren’t like this in real life as well. 😞

Anyone still waiting on HL post WG?

Adding on from this, has anyone heard of any ACs for HL summer vs?

 

[Jessica Booker]

@Jessica Booker i'm an international student and i managed to secure a spring vac scheme; assuming I successfully convert it, when i apply for the extension of my visa, do i apply for the student one (as i will be studying my SQE 1+2) or do i apply for the skilled worker one (as the firm will be sponsoring the course)

You will be on a student visa as you are not working until your TC starts.

Guys I was a bit silly and didn't take note of which firms asked for a referee can anyone help me out if they know which firms they applied to requested for either academic or professional references so that I can take note of it? Really appreciate it thanks!!

That’s incredibly disturbing tbh.

You never know what people are like behind closed doors.

The theatrics being pulled at AC’s to pretend they are super friendly must be crazy! It’s really disturbing tbh. Idk what to think. 🥲

 

[studentdelaw786]

What. Ive not laughed at anyone mate.

you know what you’re doing. you got an AC - congratulations. but don’t forget you’ve also been rejected from applications, and i’m sure you’ve gotten support from the forum.

what you put in to the world is what you’ll get out of it. don’t let it be bad karma.

Literally!

This is why I keep a small circle of friends and everyone else at arms length.

To be in your late teens to early 20s and behaving like this on an online forum is ridiculous. No need for nasty energy like that!

 

[Chris Brown]

I’m soo confused 😭 they reacted an unholy amount of laughing emojis and now they’ve been portrayed as if they’ve killed someone 😂😂😂 maybe I’m missing something? 🥴

It was more to do with the kinds of posts that they were reacting to, not the haha reactions themselves. 🙂

@BreadandButter I think you liked my question about HL - may I ask when you heard back from them? 🫶

For me the main issue is that the forum is meant to be a really honest, open and safe place where we can help each other. So it’s incredibly sad to see people finding humour out of other people’s difficulties, especially when it concerns neurodivergence- we are entering a profession where this needs to be taken more seriously not mocked!

@Andrei Radu Hi!! This isn't a strictly VS/TC question, but you have answered a similar question for me before so I was wondering if I could quicky get your thoughts on this. I am applying for paralegal roles at the moment. With some firms, the recruitment process is moving quite quickly and for some of them, I haven't heard back since submitting my application. I want to avoid having to accept an offer when I am still waiting on firms I would prefer. What's the best way of approaching these firms to get a response? Thank you!!

Vinson & Elkins Interview/Presentation! 😁😁

Hi guys, this is gonna seem like a weird question. If you don't get anything in second year, ie, you have a Summer free on your CV, and you apply again for vac schemes in third year, are you at a disadvantage? Assuming grades remain consistent and you do some sort of informal experience in the summer?

I guess my question is, do firms look badly on candidates for not having done a vac scheme at the end of second year?
