TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

hey - has anyone heard post-AC from RPC's Bristol office for DTC?

 

[spamelinazoid]

Same, they’ve never responded to me on any of my queries but for this they just randomly did I think it’s probably because many people must’ve faced the same tech issue. If you’d mailed for any other reason, idk if they’ll respond.

Yea I also applies via CV mail. The other webpage didnt work at all for me (and it basically self deleted, and all my progress along with it)

 

[spamelinazoid]

Was your mail also regarding the tech issue on the deadline?

Yes, I emailed them to ask if it submitted correctly as the new system completed crashed. Thankfully had my responses saved.

I actually started my application on the day it opened and the link at the time was the CV mail one. Seems they changed to the new system mid way through applications being opened (really messy overall).

Just a PSA on Baker: they reopened the DTC apps till midnight today. Ig it’s because a lot of people (including me) faced tech issues and couldn’t submit the app earlier, so they’ll probs review apps next week. Stay strong folks!

Do you mind pasting the link here? The link on their webpage does not seem to be working. I did not apply through CV Mail and hope to apply again

The stress of reading your cappfinity report wondering if the weakness was fatal

For Baker how can we be sure that our application was correctly submitted?

You should get a submission email

 

[mmm918]

You should get a submission email

I got the confirmation email right after I submitted it (via the new system) but now people said the recruitment team responded saying CV Mail is the correct platform. I am confused....

Has anyone heard back from Arnold & Porter for the DTC?

Arnold & Porter DTC applicants, not sure if I'm being too pessimistic here, but I am assuming if I don't get a response by today then it is a PFO. The graduate recruitment brochure says that interviews will take place in March and April. I assume when they send out interview invites, they give at least 1 week worth of notice.

The thing is, it appears no one has been invited to interview for the DTC?

What? No way

I think if you managed to submit via the new system you’re fine.

The system crashed so a lot of us couldnt submit through it, hence CV mail

Anyone heard from PHB since the interviews? Radio silence… assuming that’s a PFO

 

[Scottishlion]

Can someone give the CV Mail link for Baker? Can't find it

I asked HR after the interview if they were going to telephone or email candidates - I may have misunderstood but I thought she said they’d call everyone. Fingers crossed.
