    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Honestly, although I haven't been to an AC yet, I would suggest bin off the other 4 you plan to do (unless they are absolute dream firms). Because the success rate chance you make it to another AC is probably slim in the grand scheme of things. If you consider how many applications you have...

    That's interesting to know. I guess it partly is subjective and down to the person reading it. I know it has to be addressed to Tara Davidson. Has she spoken at any events where she has given advice on this topic?
