TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

In previous years, Baker McKenzie seems to have had around 15 participants per scheme (I’ve spoken to people who attended those schemes and they confirmed that and the Insta posts from those schemes seem to support it too). However, the website for this year appears to suggest 30 participants per scheme. Does anyone have any idea what it is most likely to be this year? Has anyone here been offered a place on one of Baker’s vacation schemes perhaps?
