TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[TCLA Community Assistant]

By the end of the summer I would have completed around 4 weeks worth of legal experience. In my application for a direct TC that has already been submitted, I only mentioned my internship which lasted two weeks because the other two experiences had not been completed. Additionally, the form required that I list up to 3 experiences so I did not want to list everything legal. I'm also on the final round of interviews for a politics internship for 6 weeks where a lot of legal experience is on offer.

Would grad rec look at this negatively? Is it worth reaching out and asking if I could add this completed work experience to my application?

It’s likely the firm won’t accept further work experience if they limit the work experience to a set number of entries.

Does anyone know how to withdraw a submitted application for Freshfields?

:/ so is it likely they will reject the application then?

Not necessarily. Your application form could be strong enough to begin with.

Morning guys,

Do you know how to amend your undergraduate exams section on the Vantage app? I need to move my exams from year 2 to year 3 because I made a mistake.
Thank you in advance

When did you do the AC?

I only did the test a couple of weeks ago (waiting on interview invitations) - I assume this is the final batch of applications they are considering as part of the rolling application. Therefore, would guess is dependent on the outcome of your AC (as may not even be any vacancies left!). Did they say when you'd hear re AC outcome?

No, they said a few weeks but nothing specific! May drop them an email as I am eager to do my SQE2 and want to work out funding options!

Hi @Jessica Booker on the BDB Pitmans website it says BDB Pitmans has an application period open for TCs ending at end of July. Is this outdated info? It seems to be contrary to the information I received from the email nack in May.
