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

    Does anyone know which of the US elite firms recruit on a rolling basis for VS? I've seen that Willkie and Cleary do but a lot of the others don't seem to say and have pretty sparse UK careers information compared to UK/global firms.

    Hiya I did Hogan AC on Tuesday and was offered the winter VS the next day! On a side note - just want to say thanks to everyone on here and all the valuable content.

    Can you use acronyms like FTC and CMA in a cover letter or should they be fully spelled out (i.e. Federal Trade Commission and Competition and Markets Authority)

    Should a cover letter ever differ in focus depending on whether it is part of an app for a TC versus VS? i.e. if applying to a VS, should you try and explain what appeals about the VS or why you would want to join the firm for the VS as opposed to why this firm generally (implicitly from the POV...
