    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Since the summer! They only had 1 TC spot which I didn’t get so I am hoping that the person offered it declines but it’s been so long I’m worried they’ll forget about me

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    If I am on a waitlist (the only candidate on the list) for a TC spot is it acceptable to email the firm and say I’m still really interested in the position?

    I have such a range of grades (49% to 84%, however a 2.1 in both years) and have had ACs with MC and US firms whilst also having a VS last year! So it really depends more on the individual firm rather than the group!

    I think the ACs were done for both. I can’t even remember which I put down as my first preference

    I think we must be relatively similar as I also have grad offers from non-law related jobs ;) but have decided to still desperately pursue that TC!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    From my personal experiences (so not indicative of the whole market) I have found that this year I am doing way better with the US firms as a final year non-law student than with the MC firms. My guess is that it is the first year I can apply for VS with the US firms whereas the MC firms I had...
