    I wouldn't worry if you haven't, last year I didn't receive any news until after Christmas :)

    I had an email on Wednesday (7/12) from Clyde & Co saying they were reviewing my VI - can anyone tell me how long they had to wait to receive a response from them after they received this email? Itching to hear back!

    For First Steps last year it was 2 minutes to prep - I believe it was the same format for the VS. Obviously this is last year's experience so may now be out of date :)

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi everyone! Looking for some reassurance here. Submitted an application for a VS this evening only to discover a few hours later I had accidentally applied to the training contract instead - I was sure I had checked it was the VS! I have emailed grad recruitment about it but I feel so worried...

    Thanks for making this new thread! I've officially graduated from First Year Scheme threads to Vac Scheme (scary stuff!). I'm currently researching the law firms I'm wanting to apply to, trying to get ahead of the curve before uni starts. Any tips about what are the most crucial things to know...

    I know this is probably quite an annoying question considering people haven't finished this application cycle, but when do applications tend to open for vacation schemes? My uni starts quite late in September so I'm hoping I can do some applications before uni starts. Thanks in advance!

    I'm in a similar situation too, but they didn't give an exact time frame for letting us know. Refreshing emails like mad rn!

    Thank you so much @Rob93 and @George Maxwell for your kind words! As suggested I took some time off yesterday before an interview this morning - and I think it went really well! Hopefully my PFO is, as you said, a learning opportunity!

    Hi, how do you move on from a PFO? Had my first one yesterday but I have an interview tomorrow so I could really use some tips on how to dust myself off and carry on. Thanks in advance!
