Clifford Chance - Details of Previous Rejections of TC
Keep the details as concise as possible. Explain why you didn’t get the scheme and if it’s down to development points, very briefly explain how you have gone on to improve -e.g. “My feedback from Joe Blogg LLP that I needed to develop my communication skills when presenting. Since then I have...- TCLA Community Assistant

If it is untimed then it most likely it won’t be. I can’t guarantee it, but usually instructions would explain that although it hasn’t a time limit you’d be assessed on the time taken (so read instructions carefully).- TCLA Community Assistant

It’s really not needed unless it is explicitly asked for in the application form. I’d rather just see what you did in more detail - eg the responsibilities you had and the impact you had in the role.- TCLA Community Assistant

Weekly Application Pitfalls
Great post! For good U.K. writing you should mainly use while rather than whilst. Whilst is particularly old fashioned and a much more modern style would use while. Same with the hyphen. Coordinate is much more appropriate in U.K. writing than co-ordinate in modern writing. Both matters are...- TCLA Community Assistant

Percentiles will often vary even in the same test. For instance, even if they are identical tests, for Linklaters you can be benchmarked again partners in law firms, while at Hogan Lovells you could be benchmarked against 16 year olds with no legal training. This would result in different...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - reverse chronological order with the most recent entry first is the most appropriate way of doing it, and you calculate this by end date.- TCLA Community Assistant

1) Yes - I would assume this is your A-level education as well. 2) I would include a gap year in this. You should explain what you did in that gap year as well as when it was. Because many people take gap years and don’t actively work or study, it’s good to cover off what you did during that...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA's 2021 Scholarship Programme
I don’t think you really quantify the scholarship with saying how many people applied or how many got the scholarship. Something brief like “I successfully applied to The Corporate Law Academy’s 2020 scholarship programme, allowing me to complete their varied training courses on subjects like...- TCLA Community Assistant

You could, but I don’t see the benefit of including this. I would personally focus on either why you applied for the scholarship or how you have benefited/the most important thing you have learnt from it.- TCLA Community Assistant

Apologies for any confusion - "Personal tutor" is typically used by universities in a similar terminology to an academic tutor, hence why I thought you meant it was someone at the university.
