    Starting my VS next Monday😭feeling nervous AF For non-law students is there anything we need to know beforehand (e.g., legal research etc)? Also how does networking actually work - do you just bump into people and talk...? Do people usually talk about commercial related or more personal stuff...

    Maybe a dumb question but can female candidates wear leather shoes for VS? I really struggle with heels

    Had an AC with them, people were genuinely nice and friendly, it was among the most pleasant ACs I've done so far. I think it's more or less a reflection of their culture

    if you're offered a TC after spring VS, do you normally need to accept/decline it before the summer VSs? Or do the spring ones have similar TC acceptance deadlines as the summer ones?

    Is it possible to transfer your summer vacation scheme to a winter/spring in the next cycle? Feel like I don't want to waste all I've put in to get an offer just to turn it down straight awat

    Have you tried asking for feedback from the firms? If not I'd suggest doing so :) I've had 5 ACs with 3 offers 1 rejection in this cycle so far, one yet to respond; I'm in NO WAY an expert in this but I'm happy to share my modest personal insights and tips if you'd like - feel free to PM me!

    personal observation from a top uni in London: 4 at max, mean/median 2, lots without offers. I understand people may want to share that they've got many offers in their first cycle here, which is a massive achievement indeed (we love to hear those!), but it's worth knowing that this isn't...
