TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
Hey guys, Just received an invitation to a VS with a firm (big favourite of mine). But, I have an upcoming AC for another 2-week VS which would have a 2-week overlap with the offer I have received.

My Journey to a TC
Pleased to say I have a positive update - was told yesterday that I got the VS! I can wholeheartedly say that if it were not for the TCLA scholarship I don't think I would have gotten this scheme.

My Journey to a TC
It's been a while! Happy to share that I've received two AC invitations which I will be attending this month. It's been a good start to 2023 so far for me, so I want to give these ACs everything I have to keep that ball rolling. I've been feeling nervous about the interview aspect of the day...- jackismall

My Journey to a TC
Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I got through to the next stage! Just yesterday I completed my AC interview for Ashurst's Winter Vacation Scheme. I think it went well, but I'll have to wait and see what the result is. Either way, it's really useful practice and I'm extremely grateful...- jackismall

My Journey to a TC
Hi everyone, I've been a relatively frequent user of TCLA whilst completing TC and VS applications. I'm lucky enough to have received the TCLA Scholarship which I have already found extremely useful - there is a huge host of resources which has filled me with more confidence and hope that I...- jackismall
