    I just want to say that this is super impressive! The sheer amount of applications and your dedication to applications is amazing. Do you have a particular method to make the process of applying smooth/easy-ish?

    Thank you so much for sharing! Your experience is almost identical to mine which is comforting even if they were not pleasant experiences. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

    For those with middling grades (low- to mid-2:1s at uni), which kind of firms are you applying to? I want to know if I'm being realistic or not!

    applying for vac Schemes to TC Dreams

    This is my second cycle but last time round I had to do a couple of Watson Glasers. There are YouTube videos with tips but my best advice is practise, practise, practise. I did loads (maybe 15 - 20) before doing a real one for a firm. Good luck!

    If a firm has A-level requirements of AAA and I have A*AB, do I meet the requirements or will I be screened out?

    GDL Part-Time Evening

    Hi! I did a part-time evening course at BPP (so not one you mentioned but may be similar) and worked full-time during the day. I had two-hour workshops twice a week (4 hours in total) and the guidance was to do 20 hours outside of class time (if I remember correctly!) per week.

    Prepping for next vac scheme/TC cycle

    Hiya! I'm planning to apply to 9 this cycle (a big jump from the 3 last time!). Most of the firms on my list are US but I've narrowed them down based on practice area and international offices/secondment opportunities. Forage is a good idea so I may try a couple of those as well.
