I feel you cos I lowkey thought I’d cooked with my cover letter for Travers Smith. Went to their insight evening in London, AS Aspire masterclass series, AS RG VDLF, legal cheek law fair booth, etc. So that PFO hit but with this process, I’ve learned that it only ever takes one yes.

I’m pleased to announce that after 37 days post app, I’ve received a PFO post app from Travers! I’m still looking forward to nothing here! Unfortunately this means Travers Smith failed to surpass Milbank on the league table. I wish them the best of luck in the next app cycle though! This is...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I saw a few people who posted about Sidley PFO post app that they applied either a few days before or on the deadline (between 6 and 9 Jan). I sent my app on the day of the deadline and still nothing lmao. I sent Travers on the deadline and I haven’t heard anything back yet (VI or PFO).- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

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
