TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Gottagetthroughthis101]

How much do you think law firms care about grades? I understand they don’t want 2:2s but my university basically never gives out firsts and I just got a mid 2:1 on an essay I was really proud of so I’m just feeling super demotivated . I go to a top 10 Russell group that’s a top target for employers so I’m hoping individual grades don’t matter that much

Don’t stress! Usually as long as you graduate with a 2:1 overall, it’s no biggie. I know that some firms are stricter with their requirements but most of them are chill as long as you have a 2:1 overall. I have a few 2:2s in some of my modules and I have progressed to next stages with no issue

Also, hate to be that guy but does anyone know around when firms like Mishcon (spring) and HSF (summer) get back regarding assessment centre invites after someone does their tests? Really hoping I don't have to wait until mid February

In Mishcon's email about the SJT they said they will get back to everyone in late January

Its just speculation😂 if there was no second spring scheme, it’d be different, all we’re saying is there IS. So indeed let’s not anticipate anything
