    My journey to a TC :)

    Back with an update on my progress! Thank you for the advice @Jaysen and @AvniD! I do get Jaysen's point regarding prioritising my time to draft applications first.

    My journey to a TC :)

    Hi all, My accountability thread is very delayed but better late than never I guess! I am delighted to have secured the TCLA scholarship and I think it’s a really helpful idea to post regular updates about my journey to hopefully secure vacations schemes/TCs.

    Took a short break and logging in today after a week or so- got rejected from the last AC I had. Guess that's me done with this cycle, only waiting for Freshfields post-app now but most likely that's a PFO too.
