    LPC - doing slighty worse in the electives than the core modules

    Consistency tends to be more with your undergraduate degree if anything. The GDL and LPC tend to be looked at slightly differently. I don’t think a commendation in an IP module is going to stop you getting an IP seat though.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I’d also stress if anyone was hating on someone with offers, it would be going against our mission statement and possibly even our terms and conditions! As RoughWood has said, this community is here to support one another during any stage of the journey.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    It’s not that they aren’t taking it seriously if that’s the case. It’s just they can’t offer you a 2022 intake now - they might be able to in the future if things change, but you have to accept that you may not start until 2023.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    They are serious - they just probably haven’t got 2022 intakes to currently offer you. That might change if people decline offers/defer or if the firm increases their intake numbers. When you have accepted, reiterate you are keen to start earlier and that you’d be grateful to be put on any...

    Yes - you can mention that you were on a waiting list. No - it doesn't necessarily look bad if you didn't convert the vacation scheme. Firms know that not ever vac schemer can be offered a TC and if anything, getting the vac scheme in the first place will show you are a strong candidate.

    The individual might have scored highly for their thinking/analysis, but if they dominated the exercise, it is unlikely they would have scored on other areas that are equally as important.

    Vacation Scheme Deadlines 2021/2022 - Law Firm List with Opening and Closing Dates

    I would advise to focus more on your personal strengths in this type of question. This ensures your answer is more unique to you - “why you would stand out” rather than the opportunities to potentially stand out that any trainee could take up (eg networking/helping team members out).

    'why are you applying to the location you have chosen'
