    Anyone know with the WG, if you answer all the questions and then go back to check but don't actually click submit before the timer runs out, does it still save your answers?

    Hahah same, literally so bad at it... Although was happy to see they look at it in alongside the application so it doesn't seem to be a threshold like other firms! Fingers crossed the app is good enough to balance out what will be a terrible WG mark lol

    So just to confirm, those who just got a PFO from Macfarlanes, did everyone get told to re-apply for the TC? Or only some people?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    For those who got a PFO from Travers post-IV, just a heads up - they got back to me really quickly with super detailed feedback, so I'd recommend emailing Grad Rec. Really useful but only makes the rejection harder to swallow as the quality of the feedback has made me love the firm even more...

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Thanks so much @Jacob Miller, that's great. Really appreciate your thoughts - completely agree that mind-mapping is the way to go! Fingers crossed my interviewer goes with the typical 'tell me about a story...'!

    Seeing people talk about modules and how contract law is more important than others... is 58 going to be a problem then even if my other marks are all 65+?

    I emailed the other day and they said "We are still reviewing applications so unable to provide an outcome as of yet.Our sincere apologies for the delay." it looks like they're STILL sending out VIs!?!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey guys - don't know if this is the best thread to post in, but I just wanted to ask a quick question. For those of you currently studying the LPC at ULaw - which weeks do you have/ have you had exams? I think there were some w/c 4 January but do you have any others in Jan or Feb? Or do they...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Don't you love it when you submit a wasted application... :( Got someone to check my application and they changed part of it from 'I am applying to Travers Smith's Summer Vacation Scheme' to 'I am applying to the Travers Smith's Summer Vacation Scheme'... which just sounds very wrong/ weird...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'm exactly the same! But I know someone who completed the tests on the same day as me and was rejected back in December so I'm hoping no news is good news. Reckon we're probably a 'maybe' and they're waiting for everyone to complete the tests/VI now before sending out AC invites... but who knows
