The SQE would be done in Sept 27 and would last a year before commencing the TC in 2028. I think the timeline would look like this: July 2026: graduate from university Sept 2027: start the SQE Aug 2028: finish the SQE September 2028: start the TC September 2030: qualification Some larger firms...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I think Morgan Lewis accepts DTC apps even if you were unsuccessful for the VS (in the same cycle), but I’m not too sure about Orrick.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I don’t think any of these firms’ deadlines have closed yet and they’re all non-rolling, so it’s gna be a while before any post app responses. White & Case and Paul Hastings won’t be until June and July for DTC responses afaik.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Thought I’d update this leaderboard cos there’s a few significant changes since the last update: Firstly, Covington got booted off the league table (better luck to them next time though). This is the current state of the league table (note, we have a new current record holder). 1st place...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Yeah they have a DTC route as well. They increased their trainee intake to 15 for Sept 28, but I think they’re probs wanting to fill spaces for Sept 26 and 27, so are probs making a few DTC offers. I know of around 5 or 6 people who’ve gotten offers via the DTC route for Gibson Dunn this cycle.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

If it helps, our grades are pretty similar and I’ve been able to progress with several US firms this cycle, some of which ask for AAA A-levels (obvs I don’t have that), so it’s defo possible! As the person above said, don’t be too hard on yourself cos this process is rough. It’ll only ever...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
