PGDL law foundations course info
Thanks for his thread, curious about the Law Foundation Course as I’m due to start it in September at BPP Waterloo. I’m aware there’s 9 modules across the year to do, but which modules will we start with / focus on for semester 1, so I can start preparing in advance? Many thanks in advance :)- Bestkid98

I did the VS with them this cycle which led to a TC - and would still say throw your hat in the ring as you never know. From my knowledge they’ve increased their TC intake so are looking to recruit more trainees, so you’ll never know unless you try. If you need help with the process drop me a DM...- Bestkid98

My cover letter was 935 words - I understand that I may be the exception, not the rule. But I must say that every word I included in my cover letter added to the overall application, which made me progress to the next stage. I don't think the issue is the length of the cover letter per...- Bestkid98

Hey, thought I could chip in - I think the structure you suggested initially works well with implementing the 'why me' aspects into your 'why them' - I did the same thing for the Travers vacation scheme application this cycle, and it worked well for me to get a TC with them. Let me know if want...- Bestkid98

When I did a PE seat on a vac scheme, I drafted stock transfer forms, certificate of shares transfers, amending a article of association, drafting a section 431 election, amending board minutes. You may also get asked to do some research or find directors, charges on companies house. You could...- Bestkid98

Compromise - would be to a lesser extent having the same level of expertise in PE, Funds, Finance (areas I'm interested in) to the other firm which has a stronger expertise.- Bestkid98

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I do have a gut feeling - but it's more my heart (having an emotional connection) leaning towards Firm Y which I enjoyed during the VS, and my head/mind (logical, rational explanation) is leaning towards Firm X. I agree with your point, in terms on culture being important and pivotal - I'm just...- Bestkid98

Thanks for replying - I would say the training is better at firm X because of the training system the firm has, which a lot of trainees emphasised, and I guess because X firm has non-billable hours, it would make a culture where seniors are more likely to invest into me as there's no pressure to...- Bestkid98

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Hi, I just wanted to ask, with multiple TC offers, what is the best thing to go off when deciding which firm to pick? Just to provide context, both offers are off the back of doing vacation schemes this summer, one VS was two weeks long, and the other was one week. I enjoyed both of them, they...- Bestkid98

Might have failed an undergraduate module - Implications
I also failed two modules and still have two upcoming vacation schemes at leading firms, so hopefully, that will provide some perspective - You've got a strong 2.1, way higher than me so I believe you will be fine :)- Bestkid98

Thanks really appreciate it- I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I think some people hear back quicker due to the interviewing partner providing the feedback quickly to grad rec while others may have delayed in giving that feedback to grad rec due to various factors. Fingers crossed for you nonetheless.- Bestkid98
