    Don't know how much this helps, but for their LGBTQ+ Open Day I applied for through AllAboutLaw, it had a character limit rather than a word limit, and I'm pretty sure it was 600 characters per question. That might be an AllAboutLaw thing though, rather than a Hogan Lovells thing.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I've seen on a couple applications forms (I think, don't quote me on this!) that they want the experience written in full prose. However, I have never come close to 600 words per an entry, and mine are much closer to the 50-100 words. For bigger roles I think I have written up to 175 words-ish...

    I received an email from them today which basically said that while I didn't make the cut, they were 'impressed' by my application and that I'm on the waiting list if a place opens up. Am assuming that this is just a very polite PFO... 😭

    applying for vac Schemes to TC Dreams

    Honestly if you can get a financial times subscription (I get mine through my uni), so many of theirs are really informative and actually interesting to listen to. Their daily news briefing is good for general stories, but their 'Behind the Money' podcast is the best. A recent one which was...

    Prepping for next vac scheme/TC cycle

    Hello, This will be my first cycle so I am a bit nervous, but I keep telling myself "whatever you don't try you definitely won't get". I'm currently also in the process of narrowing down which firms are right for me, and have similar rationale for my decision-making. As well as targeting firms...
