    I know someone who got an interview at TS for their VS very recently (like today or yesterday), so don’t lose hope!

    More so the pre-recorded ones (especially those without preparation time/no opportunity to re-record - looking at you, Bakers + A&O Shearman!) An interview with a human being online is hopefully alright with me :) Thank you 🫶

    I do not think your answer here has to necessarily involve a commercial matter; your focus should simply be on answering the question as it was stated to the best of your ability. To that end, you should have an explanation as to why you would choose to introduce and one bill over many others...

    I think you cannot apply for a direct TC. From Travers Smith's website: Can I reapply if my application isn’t successful? If your application is unsuccessful at the application stage, then you are eligible to reapply. Unfortunately, if you attend an interview or vacation scheme and are...

    I was looking at last year’s VS forum and it seemed that people began getting interview invites from around mid Feb onwards and some were in March. 🙂🥲 It might be a few weeks before we hear back because I think TS read applications first and then shortlist all the successful applicants for the...

    Hi, best of luck with everything, all it takes is 1 app!! It's definitely harder to get past the first hurdle than it is to progress once you get to interviewing / AC stage. Do you mind saying when you heard back from HSF? They are my dream firm and I'm tired or refreshing my inbox haha

    Not Jessica or Andrei, but I did the Travers VS last year and mentioned two MC firms I attended open days with in my application, so in general, I think name dropping other firms is ok for Travers. If you're worried, you could say 'After attending a debt finance workshop, I found... interesting...

    @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu Would it be a bad idea to mention a Kirkland open day in an application to Travers? IK Travers are strong in private equity, and what sparked my interest in PE was a debt finance workshop at the Kirkland open day. But I also go on to talk about how I like the...

    Obviously wait for official advice on here, but couldn’t you talk about the PE workshop, and not explicitly name the other firm? I don’t see why you’d need too.

    Travers Smith! If you get through to an interview you can never reapply - I am not sure if that's route specific though, i.e., you may be able reapply for a DTC if you interviewed for a vac scheme

    We see lots of successful applications that leverage competitor firm’s open days and events in their motivational answers - so I really don’t see this being an issue if it then is balanced out with enough “why Kirkland” content

    Try and be honest about it, take accountability, say what you learnt from it etc. Don't do what I did with my Travers Smith interview several years ago and say the completely honest (Autistic) truth: "Yeah, I never went to any of the lectures or tutorials as it didn't suit my learning style...
