    Haven't heard a peep from Sidley, is anyone in the same boat..? I applied for summer VS on 03/01 and haven't received a PFO or a next steps email.

    does anyone know when Dentons gets back to you after the Vi and test . I’m literally refreshing my emails every second hoping for an AC invite 😂
    I love this forum but I cannot tell you how many times my heart has dropped receiving email notifications for it while expecting it to be a firm😂

    Hypothetically, is it often possible to switch between spring/summer vacation schemes if you end up having a clash? (I'm not in this quite fortunate position haha, just wondering as the places I am progressing with have vacs at the same time - and some have alternate schemes).
    I’ve managed to move from a winter scheme to a summer scheme this application cycle so I would say it never hurts to ask!

    Hi guys, I am hoping to get some advice on how suitable of a candidate I am for a corporate or commercial TC/VS. I graduated from King's with a high 2.1 in a non-law degree in 2020 and took a year out. I then studied the GDL at BPP (achieved a high merit) and I am now completing the LPC. I have been active in a number of societies but have very minimal/no work experience. I have also never completed a VS (but I do intend to paralegal for a bit after graduating from the LPC). I have been putting off VS and direct TC applications for the last two years because of 1) fear, 2) thinking I don't have what it takes to get an offer and 3) not having enough work experience to pad out my applications.

    I was just wondering if anyone could let me know what they think I can aim for as my imposter syndrome is getting the better of me. Are my prospects pretty good - could I aim for a lot of firms (i.e. American, Magic Circle, International, Silver Circle) or are some too far out of reach?

    Also if anyone has a TC or has completed a VS with a similar background to me then it would be great to know your experience with applications:)
