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

    That's a good question. I can't explain why vacation schemes pay the amount they do, but I have a banking internship lined up for the summer so I can maybe provide a bit of insight onto that. From my experience (obviously can't speak for all banks), the salary you get for the summer internship...

    If I could add to the previous responses, I would personally approach this as an ESG topic more broadly. It's not just law firms, it's big companies like McDonalds, Starbucks, the Big Four, energy companies like Shell. There was a huge campaign on social media targeting any major company that...

    Hey! I'm involved in a university society and we're organising a law event. A firm I've applied to are experts on the specific topic of the event and I think they'd be great to reach out to. Is there anything wrong with me reaching out to grad rec about this given I am an applicant?

    How possible is it to defer vac scheme offers to the next application cycles (e.g., summer 2022 to winter 2022)? I understand that it will differ from firm to firm, but I'm wondering whether this is even an option

    Not sure about supernova or spark, but I am on Strive's "shift(bootcamp)" (a legal tech course) and that programme is running very well- interesting course material, mentoring opportunities, open days with the partner law firms, and constant communication via slack. Not saying this to...

    I don't think so either, at least not based on when you did the GBA.

    Got in touch with grad rec and they said they are still reviewing applications and GBA scores. They aim to deliver all application outcomes in the next few weeks. :) Hope this helps. It's not necessarily a PFO.

    Hey! Did anyone here attend the Future City Lawyers Intro to Private Equity Webinar and would be willing to share their notes or the slides? I was feeling really unwell and couldn't make it.

    Has anyone heard back from AS for the Meta scheme interview stage?

    So, I was just in a workshop with Hogan Lovells and they said that they have plenty more ACs coming up and that actually if you haven't heard back yet it's a good thing because it means your application is still under consideration! Haven't applied to HL but I've seen a few posts from people...

    Does anyone know if TW ACs are going to be virtual or in-person?

    Good luck! Sending you lots of positive energy :) Let us know how it goes and give yourself some credit for staying motivated and committed to the AC despite the circumstances. That's incredible resilience!

    Get better soon! Hope you're feeling okay? I'm sure it's all going to work out and the firm will be more than willing to rearrange your AC once you let them know.

    For those wondering about Travers, their grad rec mentioned in an event with Vantage that they'll aim to get back to people end of February/early March, but may need more time in which case they'll email applicants to let them know. :)

    Hey- this happened to me the other day and I nearly messed up my chances of securing a really cool opportunity cause I was so caught up by a specific application. I'm guessing things like "it's done" "you can't change it", "worrying won't help in any way" aren't really helping you. What helps...
