    Received an A&O TC offer this afternoon!!! Still can't believe it. I seriously couldn't have done it without the support of the TCLA community (or the TCLA mock interview practice!!) 🥰

    I have been given the name of my supervisor for my A&O vac scheme next week - should I reach out to him e.g. to ask if there's anything I can do some research on in prep for next week or best to leave it?

    I've read that Simmons & Simmons' AC includes an inbox exercise, case study exercise and competency interview. Am I correct in thinking this suggests there won't be the typical why Simmons, why law, etc. questions?

    I have an AC next Wednesday for Clyde & Co's winter vac scheme but I've just received an offer for A&O's winter vac scheme (which I plan on accepting) which will be over the same dates - should I immediately email Clyde & Co about this to see if I can be considered for their spring or summer vac...

    Do you think I can use setting up a uni society and creating its resources, e.g. events, quizzes, etc., as an example of being innovative? Or is that not really an example of innovation?

    Has anyone received an email from Simmons & Simmons saying that they didn't receive your online test and are withdrawing your application? I completed the test in time and it says completed on the online portal so a bit worrying!

    Just had to cancel my assessment centre because I have covid and feeling awful 😣 If I apply to the same firm in the 2021-2022 cycle and mention that I had to cancel, do you think they'll take into consideration the fact that I reached this stage when reviewing my application?

    I've seen a lot of people say that competition for training contracts this year has been particular hard and competitive. Have you all found this to be true compared to previous years (this has been my first year applying)? And do you think it'll get even more competitive from now on?
