    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    To be fair, I think it's a matter of preference. I applied to Lift Off because I was very new to the whole TC process and wanted to know what commercial awareness actually is and how do you go about it and getting on the programme does get you a final stage interview for a VS/TC so you probably...

    That is interesting, because I emailed Grad Rec at HL today and they said they would get back to candidates only by the end of this month. When is the AC? Also, do you remember when you submitted your app and did the WG?
