Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aks.Khurana" data-source="post: 174744" data-attributes="member: 30912">Hey [USER=33185]@ASullivanP[/USER], thanks for posting.I can certainly empathise with the pressure of performance in your second year as a law student who went through the process recently. With law and other corporate careers, the narrative of getting your foot in the door early can be taken too far and make you feel inadequate.However, objectively speaking, you are in a good position right now. As a non-law applicant, you will not likely lose any years if you were to secure your TC in your final year (I'm referring here to the potential gap year between graduation and the PGDL). Therefore, securing your TC in your third year is as good as your second - it does not change what happens after graduation! This is very important to recognise.Additionally, having more time will allow you to improve your game with applications, interviews, and your experiences. Given that you have almost an entire year till third-year interviews, you have tremendous scope to grow. Even if you cannot secure legal experiences this summer, you have plenty of time to upskill, network, and master the application cycle, and TCLA is an excellent resource for this. With more time, you can become a better candidate, and apply to more places. This may lead you to get an even better TC offer. Don't worry too much about the narrative amongst university students. A lot of pressure at uni is artificial and merely fearmongering. You're doing well. Keep it up.</blockquote>
