    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

    I was looking at the application for a firm and accidentally pressed submit. I emailed grad rec to withdraw the application, as I want to apply properly. Are they gonna think I'm an idiot and not take my proper application seriously? (assuming they're willing to withdraw the first one)
