No worries at all! And yes I have done core law modules like contract, tort, property. I finished my undergrad in India (don't think foreign law degrees are QLD tho)- Vacationschemeapps

Hello @Jessica Booker and team, I'm on a non QLD. My TC law firm does not need me to sit for PGDL but is asking only that I do a foundation course tied into my SQE preparation. I was surprised to see however that quite a lot of firms still need people like me to do a PGDL+SQE!! Do you think...- Vacationschemeapps

I will have to anyway, as the offer lapses. But also I think I'll prefer this firm over the VS one- Vacationschemeapps

Nope, but the deadline of the TC offer acceptance is before the other vacation scheme. So i will have to accept it before!- Vacationschemeapps

Hey @Jessica Booker , I'm in the exact same position and am not from the UK. I therefore have already invested a lot in monetary terms towards my visa and bookings for the vac scheme. Backing out of the scheme would be a financially v bad decision for me. Do you think I should tell Firm A...- Vacationschemeapps

Hey @Jessica Booker , I was wondering if you've any clue as to why firms still recruit two years in advance (esp non law students)? I got a TC offer with a firm recently and they don't require me to do GDL. Instead, my foundational law course is merged in SQE prep itself! So all that can be done...- Vacationschemeapps

Hey @Jessica Booker , how do firms take it if in a TC interview q- 'What other firms you've applied to', I tell them that I applied to xyz other firm and also got a vac offer from there? Does it give me a leg up (showing that other firms have chosen me) or work against me (in that I may or may...- Vacationschemeapps

does anyone know how tough it is to clear bakers vi? I sort of did not make much sense in 1 question and stumbled since it threw me by surprise. I've seen that some people get through even so with other firms. Has that happened with Bakers before (since it's 33 TCs, I imagine competition to be...- Vacationschemeapps

Re this: 1. is it necessary to complete the SQE fully before joining the firm? Can't one do SQE 2 whilst training? 2. I also wanted to ask if there are any firms who just require SQE and have ceased to have the GDL requirement too? Won't 1+2 together mean that one no more needs a two years...- Vacationschemeapps

Hie @Jessica Booker , is it okay to finish an answer early in a VI? If yes, what to do when there is no "submit" option before the time runs out- sitting idle infront of camera is so weird!- Vacationschemeapps
