The earlier, the better, in my opinion.
On that note, I am going to draw a list of firms that interview after the 31st of July and post it shortly :)
On the top of my head:
1. White & Case - only reviews TC apps after the 31st July deadline (confirmed on GR website/chambers student/open day)...
Thanks @Sandrou, I am also preparing my TC app to CC so the advice and tips you have provided above are invaluable. Thanks a bunch.
Also with the 600 word question, did you relate aspects of your extracurricular activities to the firm? (I have not but would like to get your opinion on it)
Also just to so you know, the following post explains the requirements of how an application review takes place: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/what-are-trophy-points-how-do-application-reviews-work-at-tcla.716/
My choice this week is @Helena!
Helena - Thank you for being so thoughtful and helpful with your advice. I wish you all the success with the application process this cycle. Congrats and I hope you enjoy your extended membership :)
He has just responded with the following:
1. Be calm and be yourself. You've got this far for a reason.
2.make sure you know your application inside-out. This is crucial. You need to be able to answer questions picked from any part of your application.
3. You want to ensure that you can...
Congrats :)
A friend of mine recently completed his winter vac scheme interview, I will check with him on advice and tips and get back to you as soon as :)

Resilience is key as stressed in this article!
Wow, I really do commend you, I agree with the language requirement, currently self-studying Korean which is hard and also gets me out of my comfort zone :)
@yanerlim had the Shearman rejection, I had the Simmons rejection. Yes I agree no more winter VS apps but it would have been much more convenient for me and my work schedule sadly!
