    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I have never seen a firm stipulate a candidate needing first class grades or even a first class overall degree average. The highest I have seen as a requirement is a high 2:1 (68%) average (Cleary Gottlieb). I think a few firms like Jones Day and Slaughter and May ask for a strong 2:1 (65%+)...

    At least Travers Smith is beginning to get back to people about partner interviews. They defo saw us discussing them on the forum and knew they had to act quick. 😂

    It might be that they recruited heavily from the WVS and will do the same from the upcoming SVS. After SVS they will have probably filled up almost all their TC spaces and so don’t feel it is necessary to have a DTC route this year. 😞

    This is literally exactly how I feel right now. The anxiety is too much and it’s killing me. 😂🥲 If Paul from Paul, Weiss sees this, please give AC invites to all of us on the TCLA forum. 🙂🙂

    I love the optimism I need to take notes. 📝 Hopefully it’s good news for all of us still waiting to hear back from Paul, Weiss.

    Has anyone heard back from Paul, Weiss post online test with an AC invite, or has it only been PFO’s so far and nothing else? The waiting is driving me insane. I just want it to be over and done with if it’s a PFO. 🥲🥲

    I think this would depend on if it’s an in person or online interview. I think it would be a good idea to email the firm so that they know about it. However, I don’t know how they would then navigate assessing the interview. I think @Jessica Booker can give you a better answer than this tbh. 🥲

    I may or may not have accidentally mixed up Hill Dickinson and Womble Bond Dickinson… 💀 I think from last year’s forum, people were getting test invites for Hill Dickinson from the 1st of March onwards. Best of luck! 🙂

    Based on last year’s forum, people began to hear back from around the 20th of Feb to early March so hopefully this time next week we will start to receive partner interview invites. 🙂 Best of luck to everyone that has applied to Travers Smith. Hopefully it’s good news for all of us. 🙂

    I don’t think the firm would have offered you an AC if they didn’t have any VS slots available. It won’t make a difference when you do your AC. The only thing that could happen is that if you applied for a Spring VS, they might offer you a Summer VS instead. Don’t worry too much about the date...

    Jheeze how have you managed to send in so many applications! 😮 Absolute machine frfr! 🙂 Are you planning on applying to White & Case Direct TC this application cycle? I don’t know if they allow more than one application per cycle so you can either apply for the VS or TC. I don’t know for sure...

    Oops my bad, yeah I meant 26th of Feb lmao. 🤣 Some people even started hearing back around early March. 🥲 Same with Travers Smith unless they change it this year.

    ‘Er… yes, even I can see that it would…’ ‘It wouldn’t just be within employment law though would it?’ Both of these comments came across as very rude and condescending. There is no need for it imo. 🤨

    I haven’t heard back from either yet. I have seen people with PFO from Paul, Weiss so just anxiously waiting for mine. 🥲🥲 As for Ropes & Gray, based on last year's forum, they didn’t get back to people until a week before the first AC date. I doubt we will hear back until at least Wed 26th...

    Most likely since I’m too indecisive this is what I will end up doing. 🥲 I did this for White & Case, Ropes & Gray and Paul, Weiss. 🥲

    This was the first thing I noticed as well, being mad rude and condescending for no reason.
