Yep I applied last year. It's quite a hard application. I think they're looking for people that really understand the firm and also those that are a bit entrepreneurial. I got rejected though so clearly I missed something.- piedpiper

Welcome! Introduce yourself here :)
Hello! My name is Ben, I'm from the US but I moved here a couple of years ago. I suspect I'm a bit older than most. I did a scheme over here at Kirkland (unsuccessful) so I'm also doing TC apps this year. Interesting fact: I ran a company in the US which taught students how to code :)- piedpiper
