    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I completed the written exercise for Orrick vac scheme 3 weeks ago now and still haven’t heard a thing! The scheme is supposed to be next month so I’m not optimistic. Has anyone heard any updates?

    How long is too long for a discussion on a business story? I'm struggling to give an in-depth analysis that takes less than 5 and a half mins

    Has anyone with a CMS Academy offer been contacted yet about providing proof for entitlement to work? GR told me over 2 weeks ago that they'd be contacting people within a couple of weeks but I haven't heard anything since

    Does anyone know if you can add supplementary information for the TW app? I'm guessing it's a PFO anyway but I may as well try to add in my GDL grades now I have them lol
