    It seems odd to ask for a TC so I'll just have to see how it goes and hope that they do. It was pretty competitive(only 2 places) and I was interviewed but it would be different from their formal recruitment process with an AC or an online test.

    Would a paid week placement with a law firm that is technically not a vac scheme still be converted into a TC? Especially if their vac schemes are also one week? What would be the difference?

    Should I delay TC applications until after 3rd year because of poor 2nd year grades?

    Thanks, I definitely would get a 2.1 but I would rather have a high 2.1 or first given how inflated grades are with some universities handing out 80%+ for certain modules which never happens at my uni. I have applied for VS this cycle and got a couple of ACs but I am not sure if it would be...

    Should I delay TC applications until after 3rd year because of poor 2nd year grades?

    Alright but there is basically no hope of a first since given my average in second year even if I average a first in my final year it would have to be a really high first(75%+) to make up for my poor results and my uni doesn't hand out super high firsts either. I did pick modules that have a...

    Should I delay TC applications until after 3rd year because of poor 2nd year grades?

    I want to clear up some confusion here, I am not applying for TC right now, I mean during my final year or waiting until after I complete my final year? Some TC deadlines would be as early as March and I would have to include my second-year grades which could hurt my chances. I am confident I...

    Should I delay TC applications until after 3rd year because of poor 2nd year grades?

    Yes, you are right but it wasn't just applications I also had two committee roles in my second year and missed out on most lectures. Would this mean applying during my final year as next year's TC application would be in July as well but it's possible that I could get my grades before applying?

    Should I delay TC applications until after 3rd year because of poor 2nd year grades?

    I achieved 66% in my first year studying law and my second-year average is 59.4%. I am really worried that firms would think I would not be able to achieve a good 2.1 because of this, since some top firms want 65%+ which is why I think I got a lot of VS interviews in my first year. Are my grades...

    You have to email them once they tell if you got through or not to request it. I got mine by email

    I just got my feedback for Browne Jacobson TI and I scored 13 out of a max of 15 yet still didn't get to the next stage! They could have left out some other details but I am guessing there were many who did well so make sure you ace every single question.

    Browne Jacobson PFO post- TI. Make that two ACs, two TIs and one VI. It seems that whenever recruitment get the chance to hear or see me its a rejection🤬🤬 I am just mentally exhausted at this point😔

    Typical US Firms, this sums up everything wrong with the legal profession but can't say this is not what you would expect going into it

    Well, got a weird PFO from KPMG. I passed the assessment but couldn’t get to an AC because their program is full now :( (applied in late February)

    Maybe off topic but does anyone know why some firms choose not to disclose salaries? Is it just because their pay is less competitive?

    That sound really good. Do you become a trainee after completing the SQE or is the apprenticeship basically an alternative TC so you become an NQ once you finish the 28-30 months? Also, would pay be similar to TC? Is this scheme restricted to regions?

    Could law grads do solicitor apprenticeships? I thought it was only for year 13/sixth form students? What would be the point of it as opposed to a training contract? wouldn't just take longer to qualify?
