    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hahaha, I had no shame I was too nervous and needed to calm my anxiety. Needless to say, I think always asking others if they have heard back makes us 10 x more stressed out. I try to take some time away from this as it drives me crazy. We'll know the outcome at some point anyway!

    Totally know how you feel. Once I was so nervous I found one of the candidates from my AC on LinkedIn and asked if that person had heard back yet, desperate much?! 🤣😬

    Daily FT podcast and Watson's daily is incredible! FT articles too but I find Watson's reeaally easy to digest. + the weekly TCLA letter. That's it for me as otherwise I get info fatigue 😵

    They started ACs last week I believe. They've given out some PFOs too. I am also waiting to hear back, had my interview 22nd Jan.

    I don't get the NRF process either. They said they will come back to us within 2 weeks (in January!) and people got WG invites or PFOs already, I got ghosted and they don't reply to emails either 🥴

    Got my Links direct TC PFO... (ps was in 99th percentile so proof they probably care more about the CAPP test)

    Guys, a very random question but out of interest, how did you react when you got a VS offer or a TC offer? I wonder what my actual reaction will be and would love to hear some of yours 🤩

    Thank you for this. I have done the LPC and work as a paralegal but I am applying for TCs. Just thought the ones who have done the LPC don't need to take any part of the SQE as essentially you have passed this already!

    Thank you, I will read into this. Just to clarify, if I have done the LPC and I start a TC this year or in 2022 do I still need to take Stage 2 SQE tests? As in, everyone who will start a TC after the introduction of the SQE (1 Sept 2021) will have to take it regardless of having completed the...

    Oh wow, what exactly is stage 2? I believe this is similar to the "skills" part of the LPC such as drafting, advocacy etc? Is this only if I start a TC in 2023 and after?

    @Jessica Booker Jessica, do you have any idea what reason might be for not hearing back at all from NRF post TC application as it seems everyone either got a WG invite or a PFO? No update to my portal and no reply to my email - is this definitely a PFO? Thanks!

    Mine was updated 29th Jan and still haven't heard back. FF said they are reviewing VS first and ours will be reviewed until end of March so I wouldn't take it as a PFO just yet.

    Does anyone know if NRF sends out WG only to those successful or do they also send out PFOs post application?
