a lost student and her future uncertain career
I totally agree with the advice @Jessica Booker gave you. I am from Italy myself and I did study politics and I was able to secure a training contract because I came to the UK for a postgraduate degree in a non-law subject at LSE. I did have to take some loan (unfortunately, since I got a full...- axelbeugre

I would email them as quite a long time has passed now! They are probably, and understandably, very busy so they might be a little late with responses, but I think you have been waiting for way too long at this point.

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

I think for me the main difference that I notice is that the first question seems to suggest that you should talk more about your skills and qualities, both professional and personal, and link them back to the...- axelbeugre

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
