    I saw an earlier post about applying to both winter and spring and actually got through for the spring scheme so thought I would ask again. I think we can still apply for direct TC though!

    I applied slightly earlier than you did and haven’t heard a word - really hope it’s not a PFO..

    My PFO for Dechert winter VS (post app) just came through - onward and upward!

    Given it’s winter scheme in December, I wonder how they can manage a December deadline? Unless they decided to move the scheme to Spring?

    Clyde&Co sends out WVS in batches, so could be straightaway or take weeks depending on when you applied. Once you receive the test you have 72h to complete it

    Thanks! I confused Yours Faithfully and Yours Truly (which I think some people use to replace both faithfully and sincerely lol) , you are absolutely right. Do you capitalise the S and F in Your Sincerely/Faithfully?

    Slightly trivial question - should I sign off with "Yours Sincerely" or "Yours Faithfully" in cover letters? @Jessica Booker Is there a general rule or does it vary across different firms?
