    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Thanks, @Jessica Booker ! Just checking, in regards to apostrophes, would it be correct to say, for example, "Linklaters' clients' performance" ?

    Hey @Jessica Booker :) I'm a little stuck on how to interpret/answer the following Qs for the Arnold & Porter vac scheme app and was hoping you could shed some light, please. They're worded slightly differently to typical motivation/teamwork Qs in that: Q1) isn't referring to motivation in law...

    Hi @Jessica Booker for the WG, do you know if the percentile score is more important to Grad Rec than your score out of 40? eg some could have 32/40 and score in the 40th percentile.

    So have people been getting rejection after the watson glaser but before being invited to AC? So far I can only see people being either 1) on hold or 2) rejected but after their AC. Would be interesting to know whether they are rejecting people post-Watson Glaser/prior to AC...

    To be fair, I really did enjoy Capp, it was quite fun. Definitely a more interactive way of determining our strengths/weaknesses! :) No word yet from Debevoise either since submission...
