    You don't actually specify when you apply, the application just says Placement Scheme/ Training Contract. They ask you for a preference between Easter and Summer once you have been offered the VS. This is true for the London office at least and I guess the others work in the same way.

    There is no way that you would be marked down for an interview lasting longer than anticipated when they are leading the interview. It would be awkward/ kind of rude if you were checking your watch every minute haha. I've never had any concept of time in interviews, either overall or to...

    I am also a little confused about the next stage, I think this is the first year they have done that part of the application which is why some of the information out there is a little misleading. I was under the impression they make VS offers from the back of that and the further assessment...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23… Maybe it would be best to keep discussion to the purpose of the thread and supporting each other in our common goal of earning vacation schemes. Perhaps this thrilling debate could be moved to a separate thread instead?

    I literally use a different email app to avoid this exact pain 😂 Spam emails come through on the mail app and application emails on the outlook app!

    My thoughts are that you would gain more in a year of working than you would doing the LPC. A years worth of work experience in any field will give you a load of experience that you can draw upon in applications and interviews. It could be experience that separates you from another person with...

    I know they definitely had more dates coming up for sure, not sure which dates and offices though. I heard fairly short notice for it though so definitely not over yet! Which office have you applied for?

    I had an interview with them last week and they told me they are prioritising the spring vac scheme at the moment. So I wouldn’t stress about interview dates etc, I would imagine they have plenty more as quite a few people have been sent the online test recently.

    I haven’t applied personally but for the why TV question I would say not to worry what other people have put. What are you actual reasons for applying to the firm? I think these answers work so much better if you are authentic and manage to display genuine passion for the firm. I think in 100...

    @Jessica Booker What stage in the app process is it best to try and switch to a direct TC application? I have a couple of applications which may clash with another scheme that I have been offered. Is it best to get as far as possible and potentially pass AC or ask earlier and risk they say...

    Everyone will make mistakes at all stages, so I would try not to overthink it. I re-read my written work from an AC (which I got a VS offer from) and laughed at how bad it was! I also re-watched a VI I did and there were stutters, ermms, etc but still got an AC invite. They aren’t expecting...
