[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 212425, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=40779]@Gottagetthroughthis101[/USER] it is great to hear you will begin documenting your journey here - I think these posts add a lot to the community and help many people who are facing similar challenges. One point I wanted to comment on concerns your worries that you don't have enough VSs to get a TC. I know a number of people who secured direct TCs in their final year during summer break having completed no prior vacation schemes. Having already completed one, you will be in a great position when applying. There is definitely no expectation to have done more, so there is no reason to think you are "not good enough". One other thing I will mention on that is that, considering the fact you have not applied to many firms/not ensured the applications are tailored, 1 VS and 2 VS interviews is an excellent application track record - many people have to chase such achievements for years. This shows you have all the skills you need to succeed if you give it your best shot. With a clear focus on TC applications now, I am sure you will do very well. Also, I would be surprised if your Bar-focused experiences were to hold you back in any way. If anything, they show you as a well-rounded candidate who has taken time to explore professional opportunities before deciding on a career in a big law firm. [/QUOTE]
