Welcome to TCLA — and I’m really glad you’ve created this thread 😊 It’s such a healthy way to stay motivated and reflect during what is, honestly, a very tough process.
Huge credit to you for pushing on despite the rejections and external pressure — that resilience really matters. Making it to...
I think they're likely to complete all the ACs before handing out offers. Mine is the start of March and think they finish on the 12th. Imagine you'll hear after then :)
Dear all,
I have been waiting for the end of January to write this post. Technically, this is my second cycle, but last cycle I joined late in mid July for only applying to one TC and got an AC which was surprising as just testing for my ability.

Hi Ram, would it be possible to update this list for the 25/26 application cycle please as it is important to prioritize and plan whether applying for a Vac Scheme or Direct TC
...motivated for this cycle to end positively.
Since then, I’ve had a Mishcon VI invite and a Baker SJT invite, while I still have a TaylorWessingAC coming up soon.
Still waiting on W&C, Travers, HL, and Dentons (don’t know where they’ve disappeared off to) but the small wins are enough to...
