I encountered intermittent delay when trying to upload my Skadden application on the day of the deadline and I really worked hard on this application. I never foresaw this issue and it really ruined my New years day. I was feeling down but I am taking this as a lesson to never submit or leave things till the last minute.

But I am more than pleased to have received great news from the TCLA team that I have received the silver scholarship. This has truly brightened up my mood and I more than motivated to work hard to secure a training contract with the help of the resources I have access to.


Thank you, team and I look forward to sharing my journey on here! :)

Great to have you on here Sarah, and I'm really sorry to hear about the situation with Skadden.

We'll do our very best to support you this year. If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to continue to post in this thread :).

I've had a really similar experience. Left my A&O app submission too late and the site crashed on me. I remember how annoyed I was at myself for days after that. Great to hear that the scholarship has got you feeling motivated again though! Looking forward to helping you and getting to know you better on the forums! :)
