Also, any idea if you can apply to the Baker McKenzie/W&C/Hogan Lovells Direct Training Contracts in this cycle if you've been rejected from their vacation scheme process?

No worries - just wanted to double check. The following information might help:
Some advice on these two links: Advice on the article interview and here too
Has anyone on here applied to a firm that they did not meet the A-level requirements for but were successful regardless?
I have! I do have mitigating circumstances. I feel some firms really take this into account and have progressed me to AC, and I think I have written stronger apps for other firms that have rejected me. Could be other factors too, but I do feel some firms are stricter and some are lenient
Thank you for this. I don't have mitigating circumstances but I was considering applying to Latham for the Direct TC. Don't think I'll bother given that their A-level requirements seem pretty strict.
I was thinking of applying too, but they do seem quite strict about it!
i applied to Latham for their summer vs and had mitigating circumstances and didn’t have the alevel grades but passed through to their AC
That's really worth knowing, thank you!!i applied to Latham for their summer vs and had mitigating circumstances and didn’t have the alevel grades but passed through to their AC
Hello, everyone. Does anyone have an idea about when Ashurst gets back to people who've applied via the Direct TC? I mean I am aware that they are non-rolling so they will obv get back after 31st March 2022 but from what I've read about Ashurst, they tend to get back pretty late, sometimes a year after people submit their apps. Is this true?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately from what I have experienced I can vouch for this.. I applied last year and never received an outcome despite sending email chasers for an update. I also thought my app and test scores were pretty strong so kinda sucks
