    They give you unlimited time to plan your answers, so I wouldn't stress about this too much as you can plan when they come up :)

    PFO from the HSF Social Mobility Open Day for me as well... Well, that bodes well for the VS app I'm working on 🤣 (I laugh or I wilt)

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Has anyone else here applied for the HSF Social Mobility Open Day? Does anyone know roughly when we'll hear back? The deadline was the 8th and the Open Day is at the end of the month, so I was hoping we might know soon so the trains to and from London won't be ridiculously expensive.

    Not so much anymore by the looks of things! Legal Cheek has reported they're only taking on 63 trainees now rather than 110.

    I did 250-300 words, I thought around there was probably best as most firms ask for 250.

    I'm really sorry! Try to remember rejection is just redirection, there's so many firms out there.

    I think it's hard for people to advise as firms all seem to be looking for something different. Last year, I passed A&O's but failed Simmons & Simmons' and Withers'. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any kind of correct formulae. I wish you all the best with your application!!

    There was one of these done for 2022/23, likely the divide is still similar: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/where-firms-recruit-from-vacation-scheme-vs-direct-tc-applications-2022-2023.6136/

    @Jessica Booker, on Skadden's application form it states 'Tell us about your interests and inspirations outside of education/work'. I'm unsure as to whether I can talk about my pro bono volunteering here? It was through my university's Pro Bono Society so technically linked to education and was...

    Have there been multiple people getting TIs with W&C? I've done the VI, but haven't heard back. I thought there was only a few people that had heard back post-VI, but I just saw people mentioning on here that ACs were being given out? Has anyone on here proceeded past TI/know of people who have...

    PFOs from Freshfields, Sull-Crom and MacFarlanes in the past week. If PH, SH and Dentons would like to wait a week before springing any more news on me, I'd appreciate it lmao.
