    Yeah, Phirst is like the First-year scheme; applying for their TC is a different app, and you don't get fast-track. However, they've been advised only to submit one application.

    I doubt they will, because deadlines usually end at 23:59, especially on Sunday night.

    Does Freshfields stage 2 include vi questions, sjt, and wg? What's the point of giving the same tests as in stage 1? Why not just have vi questions only

    I'd rather apply to 12 firms, putting in effort and understanding the firm properly, than send out 75 rushed applications that rely on luck. - 16 is the max and still only if you attend their open days and start applying from early September.

    She is the best Grad Recruiter I've ever had the chance to speak with, and I loved that she was straightforward and brutal. I wonder what firm she'll be joining next.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    There are probably more chances for someone in this chat to win a lottery tomorrow than for you to receive a TC, because applying to 75 firms is silly, as you wouldn't be able to know as much in detail about each of the firms, nvm about structuring and writing the motivation answers or cover...

    Most of the grad teams don't like seeing them in any of the applications; hence, it is always better to avoid them.
