They were 100% rolling last year- I remember applying in august and hearing back in mid september last time!Grad Rec in the Legal Cheek webinar just now just said winter isn’t rolling and it’s sifted after the deadline! That was news to me ??

I put the year I started - I went to uni in 2018-2021, so all my first year modules are listed with the start date of 2018 (even if I did the exams in 2019)such a stupid question - HSF ask what year you did your university modules i.e. 2017,2018,2019 etc do I put when I started it or when I finished because technically it's different?
I’m very confused that GR have said that they’re not recruiting on a rolling basis for their winter VC bc even on the application page before you make one, it still says that it’s rolling basis.They were 100% rolling last year- I remember applying in august and hearing back in mid september last time!
Thank you!!I put the year I started - I went to uni in 2018-2021, so all my first year modules are listed with the start date of 2018 (even if I did the exams in 2019)
Really not a stupid question- I think everyone gets stuck on this, I certainly did!
It's also odd that they'd specifically recruit non-rolling for winter vacs but not for their others?I’m very confused that GR have said that they’re not recruiting on a rolling basis for their winter VC bc even on the application page before you make one, it still says that it’s rolling basis.

I think it’s probably safest to take that info with a pinch of salt but I was certainly surprised when she said it! I even looked at the page where you apply and it clearly says rolling basis! Unless it’s changed this year and they never changed the writing as it’s nowhere on the actual grad website I thinkIt's also odd that they'd specifically recruit non-rolling for winter vacs but not for their others?
Yeah I'm not surprised that you were surprised! Could be that she just said it in error?I think it’s probably safest to take that info with a pinch of salt but I was certainly surprised when she said it!

It’s non-rolling for all schemes this year I heard!It's also odd that they'd specifically recruit non-rolling for winter vacs but not for their others?
I’m going to send GR an email tmoro just to confirm. If that’s the case, gives me an extra week or two to continue making the final details to my answer instead of rushing it.It’s non-rolling for all schemes this year I heard!

Just the responsibilities and outcomes for a question like this. No need to link it back to law.Hi all,
I'm applying to Travers Smith's winter vacation scheme. One question on the application is "Please give details of your main extra-curricular activities and leisure interests" I was thinking of writing about how I enjoy running, reading and traveling. Do we just write specifically about this or should we tie it back to the application somehow by reflecting on what we've learnt from this, how it is applicable to law...?
Any feedback is great, thanks!
Thank you JessicaJust the responsibilities and outcomes for a question like this. No need to link it back to law.
I sent GR an email but I’m confused bc their automatic reply clearly states that their Vac schemes it’s rollingYeah keep us informed on their response
I found it bit weird how it’s now non-rolling!!
Yeah very confused. Did you manage to get a response? As I haven’t submitted my app yet.I sent GR an email but I’m confused bc their automatic reply clearly states that their Vac schemes it’s rolling
Can be a mix of all of those things.Hi everyone! For A&O's first application question, "Please describe the key learnings/skills you’ve gained through work experience, positions of responsibility, personal experience or extracurricular activities", would you include what you learnt from legal engagement like shadowing, insight days etc or should the focus be on extracurricular stuff at school and uni + other experiences?
