Huge congrats!! Where and what will you be studying if you don't mind sharing? If you can't defer your offer (which would surprise me tbh) your GIFs and memes will be more than welcome on here next cycleJust got an offer for my dream masters - so looks like I will be back here regardless of what happens after my VS (doubt they would give a 2024 offer).
See you all then and best of luck to you all!
Thank you!! Cambridge. Need to make some tough decisions now though!Huge congrats!! Where and what will you be studying if you don't mind sharing? If you can't defer your offer (which would surprise me tbh) your GIFs and memes will be more than welcome on here next cycle
Cambridge student here! Lmk if you need any help/info or just wanna chat about the uni and the city! Will be here next year if you wanna see a friendly face around!!Thank you!! Cambridge. Need to make some tough decisions now though!
I am so happy to also be through! I read it wrong on my initial reading on the email and assumed we had been successful in getting through to the vac scheme but a re-read has confirmed that there is one more stage to go
. What do you think it will be? A video interview?
I’m confident if you performed well on your scheme and got an offer, the firm would allow you to defer given the prestigious nature of the uni you would do the LLM at.Thank you!! Cambridge. Need to make some tough decisions now though!
Be mindful to check both offers - some vac schemes will have a condition the other way around (eg you can’t have accepted a TC).
No - only do this if you have a face to face interview.
Ahh thing is - I am non law and got a non law offer! But maybe they still would?
I spoke with someone who said it was a live video interview (as opposed to a prerecorded one) last year.I am so happy to also be through! I read it wrong on my initial reading on the email and assumed we had been successful in getting through to the vac scheme but a re-read has confirmed that there is one more stage to go
There have been a few people I knew at university who deferred their TC to simply have a gap year. Honestly with the fact that a lot of people want to start earlier they might be happy with the open space
making all my colour coding look like crap!
Yes - still maybe. A year isn’t really a long time from a firm’s perspective
What would I do in the meantime? I feel like it would be a waste of time to wait and see if a firm will accept me for a TC, and that I should start the next stage of my education/training right away. I also feel that my applications will be much stronger once I have started the GDL. It can be quite difficult to articulate the 'why law' question when you're a non-law student, and I'll have a much greater idea of what areas interest me once I've actually studied it! The feedback I have had from a couple of firms this cycle is to apply again next year showing how the GDL has changed me as a candidate, developed my interest in law etc. Hence why I think I need to do study first and apply for TCs alongside
