    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I would assume it means GCSE or equivalent because it is phrased as an eligibility question, meaning that if you selected "no" you would probs get something telling you to withdraw your application/that you cannot apply. Then again, maybe the opportunity is just for UK graduates?

    At the Bird&Bird open day there were quite a few career changers among the trainees and associates who were at least in their 30s when they got a TC. I know you're only considering US firms but maybe worth bearing in mind! x

    On that note, do candidates get penalised for not filling out the Rare survey? I didn't grow up in the UK so almost all of the questions are inapplicable (eg. school meals, postcode, etc), but they do not have a "prefer not to say" option. I usually opt out because the answers I would...

    Hello! I have my first AC ever tomorrow and I was wondering whether there were any resources/forums (preferably for free) that could offer some insight into the Dos and Donts of ACs! Also, if anyone has some advice that they'd be willing to share, I would really appreciate it x
