    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    For those waiting to hear back from CMS post WG.. if you haven’t heard back yet then I’d assume it is a good thing for now. I did the WG and received PFO the next day as I didn’t reach the benchmark. Hang in there!

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Don’t mind me, just out here twiddling my thumbs. Barely heard anything over the past few weeks- probably because I applied way before the deadlines. I received a PFO from AO Shearman earlier this week but not surprised at all, I did terribly! I have applied to and waiting to hear back from: •...

    CMS PFO post WG. I took the test on Monday so I must’ve done really bad for them to reject me 2 days later. This test will be the end of me, why don’t I get it 😭😭 I’ve been trying so hard to understand the logic but clearly a lot of it is not clicking. Argh!

    I applied to Linklaters WVS but was rejected. Am I still eligible to still apply for the 2027/2028 TC? If so, can I re-take the 2 tests or are they valid for a year like CC? The website isn’t very clear and the training contract deadline forum on here doesn’t specify anything so I am assuming I...

    Hey! Yes I did it last week. SJT results were mixed, but I scored highly for adaptability and intellectual curiosity. Other areas were “good” but for some I missed the boat by quite a bit so I’m not so hopeful, plus I did terribly in the VI! The questions were ok, but the problem is my delivery...

    I've applied to Mayer Brown, and read here that it takes some time to receive the tests- is it one or two? Do any have a VI section? Any tips/insights would be super appreciated!
