TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[Zaidoz10]

@Jessica Booker I accidentally submitted an app to a firm without fully completing the application form. None of the application questions were answered. I emailed them explaining the situation and asked if they would reopen the application so that I could properly finish it. Would they allow me to properly resubmit or do firms usually not allow this?

Not Jessica, but maybe it would be easier to ask if you can withdraw the app and then resubmit it if the deadline hasnt passed?

The deadline is on the 15th so it hasn’t passed yet. I’ve already sent the email asking them to reopen the application. Should I follow up asking if it’s okay to withdraw?

If you've already sent the email I'd see what they say first they might let you reopen it or offer you a different solution

They may allow this considering it is clearly an error - wait to see when they come back to you.

No - now you have contacted them, just wait for them to come back to you.

Is there not an online test before AC invites? Have you been invited for testing? Their ACs dates
aren't until late May

Baker’s have changed their application process a bit this year, including the case study. I’m curious to know what it’s like now before I apply again.

Does anyone know what the new test is like?

its just amberjack - was pretty standard and quite easy to pass. I think I got 8768 but I've heard others got as low as 6464 and as high as 9986 so I'm not too sure how they measure it. Afterwards its the VI which was similar to last year's and then the AC which I thought was decent but the case study element was quite difficult for some elements.

Ah makes sense

Did you apply for VS?

Does anyone know how long Hill Dickinson expect to take to decide on who to invite to ACs after the online assessments?
