Long time no post but I am THRILLED to share that I've received a TC offer from GOODWIN😭❤️ thank you so so much to the TCLA community and individuals here who helped me out with ACs interviews and provided emotional support! I didn't think I'd get it after botching several assessments on the scheme so I am ecstatic right now!! Good luck to everyone else still looking for a VS/TC and thank you all again!!

Got a Goodwin TC too- anyone with any questions about the scheme / application process dm me, I'm happy to help Also have insight into Ropes AC, JD VS.

Hi everyone, I've got a vacation scheme in the City of London this summer and was wondering if anyone has any advice on places to stay that aren't extortionate and relatively close to the City?

Thanks!

Congratulations! I would recommend the Hilton Waldorf - the quality is excellent and it is in a very central location. The price is reasonable too: only about 250 pounds per night.

Blinks.. You didn't just say "only" £250 per night... umm ??

Get the feeling this may be a joke post/parody account, especially given the name.

Does anybody know whether Clyde & Co and Mayer Brown pay law school fees retrospectively? Thank you!

Anyone have any advice on how to write a bio for a VS? Not sure how long to make it, or how formal and if it will be judged as part of my performance? This has been stressing me out for far too long 😭😭

It won’t be judged as part of your performance unless it was incredibly sloppily, and then it’s your writing that’s being judged not the bio itself.

I would focus on a couple of interesting or unique aspects of your profile/experience.

Has anyone heard back from Blake Morgan for their vac scheme? I had a short phone call with the HR last week, still waiting for an interview.
