second?
I had no strategy whatsoever in my first cycle. I started applying in feb or so, made it to an AC for DTC but obvio didn’t get it.
Hopefully, this is the cycle I get my offer. Also, an international student so my clock is ticking

Second! But my first cycle taking it semi seriously. Last year I had zero clue what I was doing and didn't put too much effort into my applications. Seriously hoping for the TC this cycle, but also recognising I haven't taken it as seriously as I should because final year is kicking my arse. If a third cycle is the way it goes I will be shooting off applications like no tomorrow.
How does one put more than 5-6 hours a day since August on apps and not yield a single AC🤣
Thank you and hoping the same for you if you applied to them and from other firms too

Hi all,
Just a note based on the discussion yesterday.
It's perfectly fine for someone to have done well in this process (i.e. have secured a vacation scheme) and to be nervous about an upcoming AC.
This forum is for everyone, including those who are doing well in this process. It's also very much true that you can secure multiple vacation schemes and not convert any.
If someone is in a situation like this, whether they have a vacation scheme or training contract offer, and they ask for advice, please don't get upset.

Hi everyone, today was my last day at TCLA and I’m now getting ready to begin my TC in March. I really enjoyed my time here, and just wanted to say thanks to each and every one of you that made me feel welcome! I know the journey is long, gruelling, often crippled with self-doubt but just know that you will eventually come out on the other side, and you’ll look back and feel very proud of what you accomplished. Wishing you all the best…
@Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu will be around to answer your questions, and @Jaysen will still be keeping an eye on you all (so, in the words of Shakira, no fighting).
We'll miss you @Afraz Akhtar. Thank you very much for your help this month and good luck in your training contract!
Hoping Weil AC decision comes soon!
AG AC London
Sending positivity to everyone today!
you too!!🫶
