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

    I can't speak for every firm but my first year results weren't very strong either, I also received a 2:1 in my second year and managed to pull my grades up to a first when I graduated (my first year grades didn't count towards my degree). I didn't have any extenuating circumstances but I managed...

    I agree with all said above- Weil does take a lot of pride in its pro bono work so I think it is a good one to mention as a supplementary point but not a main one. I also think talking about in a way that links to specifically why it interests you will probably be more impactful than just...

    So I personally did ask to defer a spring scheme last cycle as I had a clash, I think it is quite common for people to ask but it is up to the firm whether or not they allow it. I personally had already accepted another scheme on the same dates by the time I got my offer so I think in cases like...

    Hiya, for my law firm they asked me to send transcripts for my GCSE grades/ A level grades and uni grades before I did my VS so I would say it's important to be accurate if you can!

    So I did make apps alongside doing my LPC and it is possible but I think the key is to be efficient as possible with apps- I think in terms of free time I was lucky in that I had a day off here or there and heavy days other days so I used my days off to make apps as well as consolidate for my...

    Hiya, so yes most of the events are during business hours as they are open days/ law fairs etc but normally you have the option to not attend if you can't get the day and for some events there are multiple dates, hope this helps!

    Hiya, I was a member of AS Aspire last cycle and from what I understand it can be quite a competitive process: there are quite a few spaces available but I understand that the number of people applying is also quite high!

    Hi, First of all, I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard this must be. I also agree with @lawnoodle, I suspect the firm will be very understanding if you have to reschedule, this is the definition of an event that will impact your ability to perform at an interview so I think...
