Mixed bag for my WBD score: high for both verbal and numerical, but 3 and 4 for grit and applied intellect :( 7 and 9 for the other two. No idea if that’s anywhere close to getting an AC but we’ll all find out together soon I guess- Parsorandini

Slightly embarrassed to admit this but after 4 years of applications, I have finally got through to the final stage of a vac scheme application for the first time and get to speak to actual people from the firm. :) No idea how to prepare but been told to celebrate the small wins a bit more so...- Parsorandini

Does anyone know if the CMS WG is automatic or if some people get PFO after application stage?- Parsorandini

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Thank you very much! One last thing (as I have heard contrasting opinions on this), should I link to 'why law'/why the firm in the work experience section? Also should I explicitly state skills I have learned? Wondering whether I do all of that or just stick to the facts of my role, its...- Parsorandini

Overall I have 11 or 12 jobs/voluntary roles I can put in the work experience section. Is it a case of the more the better so put all of them, or should I select only a few to not bore grarec? 😅- Parsorandini

I cannot believe that I've done this, and put it down to lack of sleep and too many things going on at once, but I have just applied to a scheme that I am not eligible for instead of the one that I am. I even knew this, I just got mixed up between firms I have been looking at. I have emailed...- Parsorandini

That makes a lot of sense, thanks! Do you think it could work as an opener in a cover letter that the firm states should include 'why law' or should only be used as the answer for an interview question? Thanks Jessica, that's exactly what I thought too. I would only ever use it as a neat...- Parsorandini

When writing about 'why commercial law', my interest in law really was born when I was a child; my mother worked in a commercial law firm as a secretary and, as a single mum, she sometimes had to bring me into the office with her on weekends and I got to speak to the lawyers as a (approximately)...- Parsorandini
