    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Freshfields post-AC pfo. Gutted tbh, as I've not even made it past the application stage for anywhere else and I'm in my final year of uni.

    2:2 in first year- how will it affect my applications?

    Hello, as the title indicates, I am currently in a situation where I got a 2:2 in first year and am worried about how it may affect my future prospects.
