Thank you! I think, and hope, the it helps folks who've not had an easy go to hear from someone who has been toughing it out. Lots of people secure TCs during their studies, and in proud of them. Many of us don't, but that absolutely does not reflect on our potential.You have been such a bright spot on the forum- helpful, insightful and so supportive.
I genuinely feel so joyful seeing you flourish!! Wishing you the very best @Rob93! 👏👏👏
Can I just say how much I appreciate @Jaysen's newsletter today? This community wouldn't exist without Jaysen taking the brave initiative in the first place. And I am sure TCLA has had a profoundly positive impact on us all who are trying to fulfil our aspirations despite the incredible challenge.
I am a law graduate who only decided to pursue a commercial law career after graduating. This is my first cycle and I am yet to hear a positive reply other than PFOs. However, despite the process being extremely daunting, I am still here and willing to keep on grinding because I am tremendously empowered by all you kind and beautiful souls on this forum - and I am sure my story isn't unique at all.
So I just want to say good luck to all who are waiting for positive responses from law firms. Thank you all for being incredibly lovely and supportive to each other. And if you are feeling a bit "lost heart" for all the rejections you received, remember you matter to everyone on this forum, and we are all eagerly waiting to cheer you on as you make your next step towards success 🙂

A quick but heartfelt thank you to @Jaysen @Jessica Booker and the TCLA team.
Thank you! On the deadline day (January 28)WOOO congrats!! when did you apply?
amazing! I applied same day, still waiting for word heheThank you! On the deadline day (January 28)
Definitely overthinking it - would only be an issue if they weren’t laughing and looking pretty much like this:Pinsents PFO 🕺
also: had a laugh in a separate AC (awaiting results) with my interviewers - now feeling this is inappropriate? Is laughing with partners ok 😭 maybe I’m overthinking it
CONGRATS! if you don't mind me asking, is this for spring or summer?AHHHHH LINKLATERS AC!! I need links to every possible resource to help me with this 🤩
Please PM me if you have been successful at an AC or can give me some pointers.
Quality reply, thanks @Jessica Booker - feeling much better 😂Definitely overthinking it - would only be an issue if they weren’t laughing and looking pretty much like this:
While you were looking like this:
laughing with colleagues is a necessity for the job from time to time. I suspect it came across as a positive.
It will be the 91st percentile rather than a percentage. That’s likely to be above their usual benchmark, and comfortably so.What is a good score on the WG test? I emailed Freshfields for my score (direct TC) and they told me 91 (I am assuming 91%).
Does anyone know how high the 'average' score is and whether this is likely to get me through to the next stage?
Sorry to be this person but when did you both apply? I haven't heard anything at all!You got the Gibson VS as well? Huge congrats, well deserved
Me too - are you still waiting post-app?amazing! I applied same day, still waiting for word hehe
Applied in November, after attending the open day. Was invited to first round interview in January and then second round a few days later.Sorry to be this person but when did you both apply? I haven't heard anything at all!
I’ve had this thought way wayyyy too many times. Thanks for asking!What do you guys think about being a little cheeky in a video interview and making a small joke? I know that firms want to see your personality in the video interview and see you relaxed rather than overly rehearsed so what are your thoughts about this? Or is too unprofessional?
