Congratulations to all of you guys for the offers you have received (I can see why they wanted you all)!I understand completely and although I have been rejected, it makes me wonder a lot about why especially as someone in year 12. I wish they would provide examples of successful applicants as I am not sure what the successful ones are doing to receive offers and how they are writing/conveying their passion for the firm, the programme, and commercial law in general. I have a few more applications to go but I really want to get this right - getting in would make later on so much easier as I have heard that these programmes have successfully had a lot of the participants accepted onto vacation schemes at the firm and subsequently a training contract.I know it is early to think about it but I have always wanted to get started early as I have seen the competition of applicants increase year on year.I will definitely look into both of those resources - maybe my christmas present this year will be a TCLA Premium subscription!I am just confused with what they're expecting from year 12's. Surely they do not expect year 12's to be fully commercially aware, understand entirely how a law firm works, understand how different news affects a law firm, and understand the differences between law firms and why the applicant is specifically applying to the firm? It all seems like a lot for a year 12? Or am I being naive and not realising that the competition for 16 year old schemes also is insanely competitive?</blockquote>
