    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    That’s exactly me right now. I’m being rejected faster than I’m making apps. Last Friday it was CC, now Latha, god knows which firm it might be next Friday 🤣 it would be nicer if law firms don’t reject us on a Friday afternoon and spoil our weekend
