TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
yay! me too. Just wishing they had let us know sooner, tell me why the cheapest ticket to London for me is £140 😀. They'll cover 100 so it's not too bad, and I saved a bit over summer so I'm happy enough to spend the extra 40, but still.- wqueens8

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
I haven't done it myself so i'm not sure, but in the recruiter insight event yesterday, grad rec said once you close the browser you can't go back on, but she didn't specify if the video questions were a separate browser to the assessment.- wqueens8

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
it does feel like a lot, I did two of the recruiter insight events and at both they emphasised how important the work experience section is because it's the only part of the application where they can assess written skills, they mentioned being succint, but also gave a laundry list of things to...- wqueens8

are you sure you're not seeing something for their first year programme, which is for first year of three, or second of four. Winter vacation scheme is definitely penultimate and beyond, including graduates. https://earlycareersuk.aoshearman.com/our-programmes- wqueens8

Bad A-level grades
I'm far from an expert, but from what I've read I'm not sure resitting A-levels will do much for you, on their own. When you apply for schemes/training contracts, you will still have to declare your original results too. They will know that you have resat. Even if you came out with 3A*s, while...- wqueens8

Baker Mckenzie + Barbri/PGDL?
Hey all, I don't actually have an offer, and I am yet to apply for any TCs but I was doing a bit of firm research and Baker Mckenzie is one I'm quite interested in.

Converting VS to a TC as a non-law student?
Hey everyone, This is so so premature but is more of a curiosity question than anything, as it's something that only just occurred to me.
