TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Tintin06]

30+ apps and just endless rejections. Is there really any point anymore? I’m 27 and just feeling dejected. I’ve done several vac schemes previously. But they don’t seem to count. So few direct TC routes too. What is the point of continuing?

27 is still very young in the grand scheme of a career. I'm 25 and only decided to switch to law last year. I have a vacation scheme this summer, but realistically, it could be years before I secure a training contract, and I’m okay with that—because when I finally land the role, it will be the best feeling after working so hard. If this is your dream career, you must pursue it for as long as it takes to get there. I have faith in you—if you've secured vacation schemes before, it’s clear that you possess qualities firms find attractive. Don't give up!

Hi, they told me that they are meeting for review on the 27th with offers being rolled out in the first/ second week of march so try to relax for now and forget about it

 

[Joey green]

Anyone heard back from Cleary AC?

 

[MaryAra299]

Anyone received stephenson harwood sjt invite yet? Haven't heard back from them after application. Was curious to know when do they send them out usually since they're on a rolling basis and has anyone already received them yet?
