    How difficult is it to get a VS being mid 20s and already qualified in another country?

    I did my first vac sheme when I was 25, and did my second when I was 26. So it is definitely possible to secure a vac scheme at the old age of 25. Do be prepared that you are very likely to be the oldest vac schemer in your cohort though.

    I think they provide feedback via phone call. But you have to email them to book it.

    LPC Resits

    Hi! I was in this situation this time last year, and I had to resit a core module which means that my overall result was capped to a pass. I thought this was game over for me, but I still managed to get several interviews from large US firms and secured a VS at an international firm this cycle...

    I believe GT calls their partners shareholders. So it's actually a partner interview.

    I am very into tax law, and I have previously been rejected by 3 firms post-AC because I was 'clearly only interested in tax law'. I think you can talk about your interests in immigration/family/public law, but at the same time, you need to show that you are open-minded to all the other...

    I got asked exactly the same question at Travers a few years ago. Don't overthink it, give your answer and have a reason to back it up. The partner will challenge you no matter what answer you give. I think they want to test how you can answer unexpected questions on the spot and how you can...
