    My experience of the Travers Smith Vacation Scheme *Successful conversion - future trainee*

    Hey, I do not think this is the case. I know at least 2 people who did the last scheme in July who were still made offers. I was also told (though cannot take this as gospel), that they don't make any concrete decision on who to offer the TCs too until the schemes have ended so I don't think you...

    Ah I see. They may have changed their process from last year then but I reckon that was for 2023 given they are currently recruiting for 2024/25.

    Hey, you aren't likely to hear from them till May as they normally deal with their summer vac schemes first. ACs are normally in August too.
