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

If they’re following the same schedule as last year then yeah I think so, cos all WGs were sent on 10 Feb, with ACs sent around 28 Feb last year. This year so far they’re following the same pattern.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Yeah Orrick sent all their WGs out on 10 Feb (same as last year it seems) and MoFo has began to send out interviews today. I’m sure that MoFo will send more out over the next few days and weeks though tbh, so nobody needs to assume a PFO.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I’d say it might be safe to assume PFOs for Orrick and Akin. Gibson Dunn are still sending out VIs and based on last year’s thread, they ran ACs till the end of March. So I wouldn’t assume PFO. As for K&L Gates I’ve not seen anyone post they have heard anything back from them yet. AG has...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Aspiring Solicitors has been my saving grace for this cycle and I’ve used them in preparation for my upcoming AC which is with a partner firm. People can arrange mock interviews and contact mentors, who are usually associates or partners from those firms, who can provide advice too! AS also...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
They screen apps for eligibility then send stage 1. If you pass stage 1, then stage 2 is automatic. If you pass stage 2, then your VI responses from stage 2 are reviewed with your app in depth before they decide whether to invite to AC. Peak tbh but that’s how they filter a bunch of people…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
