It's a bit of a late update as I found out exactly two weeks ago, but I got an offer for the HSF Spring VS! Following a string of rejections last year where I had just fallen short at the final stages, I had doubts about whether I was good enough for commercial law. Reflecting on these...- Thom&as

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Hi @Jessica Booker , at the end of the A&O Shearman SJT I think there's a video interview question along the lines of 'why do you want to be a commercial lawyer at A&O Shearman?'.

I would be lying if I said the oxbridge factor didn't matter as I've heard from others that partners have previously asked applicants "why didn't you go to oxbridge instead?". I'm not entirely sure how much weight they put on each factor in your application, but I'd apply anyway if you're...- Thom&as

MC firms put a lot of emphasis on your extra-curricular and professional journey. I think your grades shouldn't be an issue, especially considering the subject isn't related to law. I will say though from personal experience, Slaughter and May will certainly ask why your grades for certain...- Thom&as

I applied on 9 June but they couldn't process my application until 4 July because I hadn't gotten all my grades back from uni until then. I got invited for an interview two weeks later and then did the interview two weeks after the invitation.- Thom&as
