    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    They're a really nice firm and the vacation scheme is a great learning experience - the workshops were invaluable in developing my legal knowledge as a non-law student. I would caution that if a TC is your ultimate goal they only offer 1 TC from the 10 or so vac schemers.

    Does anyone know for the HL app form if I could mention the HL Virtual Internship I did despite it not being an open day / event? : "Tell us about any open days and events that you have attended in the legal sector. (250 words)"

    Apologies if it came off presumptive - I don't assume you haven't come from a low-income background or that you haven't worked very hard / in a competitive way to get your role. But I don't think your experience can be perfectly analogous to the situations some applications find themselves in...

    I think this is a bit of a simplification. There is a clear financial privilege in being a career changer from a well-paid role like an analyst that it can be for many low-income law applicants who are doing stressful applications at the same time as facing a huge amount of uncertainty over...

    Does anyone know what this email from Clifford Chance means: "your profile is of interest and your application is under further consideration. You will not be sent the Watson Glaser test for the moment" Unsure why they wouldn't send the test?

    Has anyone got PFO from Simmons for the WVS. I haven't relieved anything yet but the scheme is so near I doubt any more ACs are happening?
