    Hi everyone! After I posted on Friday I received the call a couple of hours later! I do think this may have been because I was pushing them for an answer due to my other offer, but thought I’d let you all know that I’m sure news will be coming soon 😊

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Can’t believe I’m writing this but I have just received another TC offer from the firm I reached the final stages with last year but was unsuccessful. I was really close to giving up this year after three years of applications and never imagined I’d get one offer never mind two. In the least...

    I agree with the previous reply. Unless there’s a particular area you’re desperate to do a research report/project on, you’ll just be giving yourself more work for no real reason. I did the LLM and whilst it has been fine, it was purely for funding reasons

    I received an offer with a Friday deadline and informed them of this, they said they’ll do their best to update me before Friday so probably worth emailing

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I have an interview on Wednesday with a firm that I interviewed with last year but unfortunately was not offered a tc. I completed a vac scheme with another firm two weeks ago now and have reached the final stages with them. If the firm on Wednesday ask where else I have applied/if I have...

    Hi! There’s not an awful lot to be honest as last year it was all just talks that you could submit your questions for. Would say just have a look over your research etc to remind yourself and start preparing for interview too!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi everyone! I start my two week vacation scheme on Monday and have just received my timetable and am super nervous. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should be doing to prepare? Should I email my supervisor and buddy or just wait to meet them on Monday? Between this and preparing for my...

    Hiya! I actually quite enjoyed them to be honest as you had a choice of options. Yep I could read off my notes and just shared my screen with the power point on. I had one or two questions on the presentation then just straight into the interview as to why you and why that route etc etc and...

    Hi, well done for getting the scheme! Yes of course. So last year we were given a choice of three(?) topics to create a ten minute presentation on, the topics were fairly broad and easy to choose, ie I didn’t feel ‘stuck’ with the one I did and I could find plenty to talk about. Don’t think too...
