Amma went to a non-RG uni and has a TC with them! You should still apply if you like the firm despite them mostly hiring RG grads.- ayiiii05

I found the maths tests stupid... I gave up on the test where you had to pick whether the equations were equal or if one was bigger. I just guessed, I didn't even bother looking at the numbers because which human could add up numbers on both sides in 5 seconds???!!!!- ayiiii05

How important are the A&O Shearman application questions?
If it wasn't important, they wouldn't ask it. I don't think it's a case of "my grades and work experience are strong, if my answers are not as strong I'm good" but more of "my grades are not the strongest, I have limited experience, my application answers should be strong to make up for it". If...- ayiiii05

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Thank you so much! I've heard a few times that different practice areas attract different personality types, if possible could you give an example? But I won't completely write off a firm due to someone else's experience, I just don't want to think of a firm as "perfect" in some sense. I...- ayiiii05

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
Does anyone know of firms that are lenient with A-Level grades whilst still having A-Level requirements? I got ABB and I want to apply to firms with AAB. I have mitigating circumstances but I am worried that firms won't care. I finished with 65% in 1st year and I am awaiting results for 2nd. I...- ayiiii05
