    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    The first thing to do is to get caught up on key finance/commercial terms. If you have a friend who did the LPC from BPP, ask for their Corp Fin/Private Acq/Debt fin/Equity Fin notes. Otherwise PM me and I can give you some homework

    Pressure to secure a vac scheme in second year

    Dude it's fine. I got rejected from FBD in my 1st and 2nd year. Applied for TC direct this year and got it. Just build experience - doesn't have to be at a firm. Go do 3 part time jobs at Citizens Advice or a law clinic or go search for Pro Bono work online. I promise you a year's worth of work...

    Sounds to me like they haven't finished reviewing all the AC performances yet. Plus if they said we'd hear back from them by 17th and ACs are still up for grabs on a needs basis they must have rejected a whole lot of people so far
