    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    From what I can tell (which is limited), so long as your application is still 'live' (i.e., under the 'Active' tab and shows as 'In Progress' compared to a failed application which will be 'Inactive' and shown as 'Completed'), it's not a PFO. They may have just not got to it yet. Especially...

    When did you submit your application if you don't mind me asking?

    Can't fault that logic. It's probably better that they have the process of sending it out on only Fridays because that means that we have the entire weekend the dedicate to it, so for those of us who might be working or in school during the week, we can carve out some time to do it. Good luck...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Bit nervous now as it seems quite a few people have already got WG invites sent out. But I think this time last year they only stopped sending them out around 11th of August so not panicking just yet...just telling myself they haven't got round to reviewing ours yet lol 🤞. Having said that, I...

    I've not heard anything back yet :( it's on the 12th of June isn't it so I reckon it's best I take it as a pfo? sigh

    What am I doing wrong?

    No, this is something to consider! I've recently got a mentor and was considering having him go over my applications. He's not a commercial lawyer but I still think it'd be pretty helpful just to have a fresh pair of eyes go through it before it gets to grad recruitment. As far as any trainees...

    What am I doing wrong?

    No, firms like Shearman & Stirling I don't bother. I only apply to firms that don't place that much emphasis on A-levels or have no A-level requirement. I think it's something in how I'm writing my applications -- maybe I'm not saying enough or I'm saying the wrong thing? I do try to stick to...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Yeah, I'm claiming extenuating circumstances and they apply now to my degree 2020-21. As far as A-levels, I don't have extenuating circumstances for that but do utilise the RARE contextual recruitment wherever possible since my A levels were slightly above average for my area.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, all! So my question is probably redundant because I can't really put my applications down verbatim, but I have applied to I think 4 vac schemes/1 TC so far and all have been rejections at the application stage. I have never got past that stage to an interview or assessment centre, but have...

    Yup, def no point in being pessimistic about it! It's not a rejection til we've officially been sent the emails. Best of luck, hopefully we'll all be seeing each other at the vac scheme!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    So strange... I sent mine off I think on the 14th so I cut it quite close. Applications opened around August or September didn't they, so I guess we were relatively later in applying compared to others? I don't see why we wouldn't have already received our rejections though if that's the case...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Same with mine...has anyone actually got a rejection yet? When did you all send your applications out? Maybe those who sent theirs off later are getting their PFOs later?

    Thanks for this! I was really getting quite worried, thinking damn just reject me already. Every time I get an email notification I damn near have a heart attack.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I think my application was one of, if not THE, very last to go through on the deadline...not heard anything from them yet. Don't know whether to take this as a rejection or keep holding out hope but I've read on here that a few people have received their offers to the AC or rejections so maybe...
