How confident are you in your knowledge of the core LLB/PGDL subjects, including Contract, Tort, Trusts, Land, Criminal, and Public Law?
TCLA is teaming up with BPP for a free interactive event designed to refresh your fundamentals, especially for those interested in or planning to take the SQE. We'll practise multiple choice SQE questions, with prizes for the highest scoring participants!
Register HereI applied last year for VS and was progressed to VI.I completed a VS at Clydes 3 years ago and there was one graduate / career changer who was a fair bit older, the rest were current students. Not sure if it has changed since then! The graduate was one of the few who did receive a tc though
Funnily enough it's actually less scarier than what I expected - I believe there's a Chambers Student chart that shows Willkie had around 2000 applications in the past (not sure if that's accurate)I was on LinkedIn before and I came across a link to a TCLA YouTube video with Jaysen (TCLA) and Gemma (Willkie). In this application cycle, they received just under 1,400 applications (1,396), which is crazy for only 20 VS places and 6-7 TC offers. 😦
I imagine if 25% were moved to the VI stage, that would be roughly 350 people. If 25% were moved to WE, that would mean between 80-90 of us have done the WE (out of 1400). That is actually mad when put into perspective! These numbers are scary. 🥲

But yes, 0.5% TC rate is probably on the top end of competitiveness in the market.
tbh it felt like quite a few people on the forum got the TI but idk the numberdoes anyone know how many people got the ML phone interview? just been rejected.
Hi! I was just wondering, if you remember, how many were on the Clydes VS when you did it, and how many converted? Thanks!I completed a VS at Clydes 3 years ago and there was one graduate / career changer who was a fair bit older, the rest were current students. Not sure if it has changed since then!

There were 14 us and only 4 converted. Regional office though! The London VS had way more vac schemers and TC offers, but I’m not sure exactly how many converted.Hi! I was just wondering, if you remember, how many were on the Clydes VS when you did it, and how many converted? Thanks!
How am I supposed to ramble on for 600 words for each question brooo (Stephenson Hardwood VS...)
Hi Chris! How was the SJT for BCLP, if I may ask?I saw it was 3 x 600 word long answer questions and called it quits. I was not about to write an entire essay like I did for BCLP (4 x 500 word long answer questions). 😂😂
I might apply for the DTC as it’s open until June so more time to prepare my ramble. 🥲🥲
When did you do your interview if I can ask?I also haven’t
Oh nooo! What's their benchmark?In my honest opinion, absolutely horrific lmao. 😂
I didn’t even meet the benchmark though so that’s probably why I’m saying that. 😂
