To be honest I expect so yes. I know some people from Latham's vac scheme were offered TCs ages ago. You never know if something might come back from them but I'm also not holding my breath:D- Kablahc

Not at all. Recruiters understand you might not get a choice to pursue commercial electives at uni because of class sizes/lack of availability/module quality. You'd make up for it on the LPC anyway especially if it's a firm that chooses your modules or goes through BPP. Usually you can show your...- Kablahc

Does anyone know if law firms that recruit typically from students in the "penultimate year of their law degree" would consider accepting applications from final year grads if their intention is to do a masters after their final LLB year (not LPC - LLM/MA/MSc)? Several firms I've heard back from...- Kablahc

I heard from Dentons last week :) Rejection, but said they'd like me to apply next year since I applied too late (on the deadline basically) - annoying but what can you do! I believe they've given most of their TC places to their vac schemers- Kablahc
