I'm a recent joiner to TCLA and it's so great to see the support here.

I applied to Allen & Overy last month for their Summer Vac Scheme but got transferred to a 2023 TC interview because they've almost filled up their spaces. Feel like it's such a good opportunity that I don't wanna miss on, by just getting a TC in second year of a non-law degree. Really nervous for the technical interview tomorrow, trying to get over my nerves rn.

hey, the same exact thing happened to me!
I applied for their winter scheme and they transferred me to the TC interview for their 2021/2022 intake. the process is exactly the same for both vac scheme and TC, the bar for TC is not significantly higher I would say.
my biggest piece of advice is walk in there with confidence and make sure that if you are interviewing for the TC you are really set on why A&O and not others.

good luck!

Did you get asked why A&O out of interest @LuLa :)

Just received the following from HSF about summer vac scheme:

Your application is still under review and we aim to get back to you as soon as possible.
Hi Samar, that's really weird, my portal still says under review but I haven't heard anything from them at all? Do you think it would be worth me emailing them?
