Hey @conixx, congratulations for the TI invite! Huge achievement!
In terms of tips, I wrote an extensive list that might be helpful, here is the link https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151752
Good luck with...
Hey @M0M007, first of all congratulations in obtaining a VI with W&C! I know the feeling of receiving that email as I got it too last year so congratulations!
here is is the link to the post I just made with some questions that might come up...
I can totally understand this as I was in your same shoes last year but what I would say is keep persevering but also take breaks and allow yourself to do something else and engage with content that is not law-related, that will help you massively. Other tips are:
Work on your application at...
I would say to stick to the bullet point formal and definitely describe your tasks/responsibilities but also the skills you gained, I would not talk about how they will benefit you as a trainee there. Be sure to also quantify your results when describing your tasks as that will show your value...
As Jessica confirmed, I am not sure whether there are minimum grades. You just have to do your best and send your grades in, and if you have extenuating circumstances that may explain a lower grade then I would encourage you to explain that, but there are no minimum grades as far as I am aware...
thank you so much @baj5 for sharing your journey. It is indeed a long one but I am sure that you will be able to find your fit and become the best lawyer out there! And congratulations on your LLM in the US, this is huge and not many people can say the same so you are definitely an interesting...
@FM302989 Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I am sure it will be useful and relatable from many! I too got my offer at 23 and sometimes it feels like it is a bit late but everyone has different paths in this profession and we should not compare ourselves to others! At the end of the...
Goof luck with it and my piece of advice would:

Be clear and concise in your approach when explaining things
Be confident in what you are saying and reporting
State the sources...
Hey @bella98, thank you so much for sharing your experience, I am sure many others are experiencing the same thing and it is nice to comforting to see that we are not the only ones going through a particular situation.
Firstly, I wanted to say congratulations for getting an AC from HSF. This is...
It is a really cool opportunity to be meeting the firm and graduate recruitment but it is not in the slightest the only option to get through application stages so I would say that if you are sick, just take care of yourself! I got through law firms applications to firms I did not attend any...
Hey @Tanyakaur11, I would modify the application just because you need to show you have modified your application and you are a much better candidate now. I understand that it might be easier to keep your answers but I do not think it will help you too much so try to find new ways to write your...
I think it depends on you but if you already have in-person ones I would focus on those as those are considered to be more selective than the virtual ones. Good luck with the cycle!
hey @e1996, I do not think that it matters too much as law firms look at a variety of different things when assessing candidates. I was a non-law students with a master degree and I was successful in securing a TC and multiple vac scheme offers, but I also know people with GDLs who were...
