    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I emailed mishcon and they said 'Outcomes for the Summer Vacation Scheme will be communicated next week.' I haven't heard back post-VI so assuming they are telling people post-AC if they got it or not.. and have just not bothered rejecting people post-VI...
