    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I was looking through the thread w/ Ropes & Gray Grad Recruitment (below) and saw that they won't accept applications from LPC students/graduates...it seems unnecessarily harsh and not logical (especially if individuals are willing to forfeit their exemption and do the entire SQE).

    Thanks Laura! I did end up emailing them, but haven't heard back. I was looking through the threads and it seems to have happened to vac schemers too a few months ago.

    PFO from TLT. It was a bit confusing because when I had checked my application status about a week ago, it had said that they were waiting for the outcome of an online test, but I hadn't received one. Did anyone else encounter a similar situation?
