    Anyone have any idea what BCLP's first round interview is like? Is it commercial/competency?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Has anyone heard from BCLP, Travers Smith, Mishcon, Stephenson Harwood, White and Case or Freshfields (TC)? These are all at application stage but it feels like I’ve been waiting forever to get responses!

    I’m assuming it’s a rejection at this point from Mishcon given it’s almost the 11th!

    This is a really random and niche question but I have been asked by AS if I want to be one of their Success Stories. I was having a look through their instagram and saw most of the people being posted had TC offers, but atm I only have a vac scheme offer. I guess I was wondering what people's...

    This is incredible advice! As someone who is terrified of messing up my upcoming VS this is such a lovely reminder of my need for self-confidence so thank you for sharing ❤️

    Every time I receive a holding email I fear the worst! After three cycles it starts to feel like a pattern lol

    Do a good deed today by helping a scared non-law baby with legal concepts (and general AC prep)?

    Hi! Firstly congratulations on getting to an AC, it shows a lot of potential and skill to get this far in the process! Unfortunately I’ve not done the R&G AC but I’ve done two ACs (one successfully) at two different firms so I have a bit of knowledge about the general process! 1) two weeks is a...

    Converting your vacation scheme into a training contract - top tips in 2021

    Hi @George Maxwell @AvniD @James Carrabino, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on one week vac schemes? I haven’t got much information on how the scheme will work besides knowing I get an associate mentor in one of my top 3 seat choices and that we have an exit interview at the end...

    I had covid on my assessment day and the first thing I did was contact Grad rec who said they’d let the team know (it was too late to get my date changed). Although I didn’t mention it at the beginning of my interview, I did throw in a comment when asked why I’d make a good trainee I said my...

    Congrats on the VS! I think it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers but that may not be the most useful thing to do before a VS as they vary so much it’s hard to predict! However, chambers student often has on the firm profile the number of applicants, VS places and TC spot so if you want to...

    I haven’t done the VI this year, but in the two years that I did you only had one chance to record, 90 seconds to prepare and 60 to answer. They were a mix of both commercial and Firm related so what case has the firm done that’s interested you or how has the firm adapted to covid and...

    My partner is training to become a barrister and has found the whole process incredibly lonely so I was wondering if there were any similar forums/threads (that aren’t the student room) for aspiring barristers?

    I felt similarly but I really think you just have to listen to your body. I was sick so I was forced not to work the 4 days before my AC which I thought was the end of my chances but I ended up getting it. Rest is really underrated but it really helps clear your mind. If you can, I'd say focus...
