hey, I did the telephone interview for the 2020 summer vac scheme earlier this year and the questions were entirely competency and motivational!

(excluding my first year grades since those are not counted into my overall degree classification) my overall average without the grade would be around 69, but with the grade it'd be 69.5 or so!

hey guys. I recently submitted a direct TC application at A&O, but only JUST received the final one of my module grades (delayed in receiving due to covid). It's pretty good (a first class), should I email grad rec to update them on this? or do you think it's not worth it/needed?

don't give up! we all get there someday. don't let yourself drown in despondent thoughts like that. attitude/mindset wins/loses you half the battle.

if I accept a TC after a VS in my second year, would I still be able to apply for a TC at a different firm next year? I believe it is a no? Just clarifying though
