    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    the wait for HL is driving me crazy - has anyone had a PFO yet? Edit: I submitted on the Sunday before (28/1/24) so I’m hoping they’re working their way backwards now haha

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    i think i saw a few on the tcla main thread, but none recently. it’d be pretty awful to get a rejection now, 2 months after the deadline.

    Thank you for sharing! How long did you sit on hold for before you were invited?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    There’s a series on youtube that goes thru each type of question and explains why they give each type of answer. I found it really useful to sit down with that and write out exactly what i think the videos were explaining (why yes/no/more info needed etc) and then go to a practice paper and sit...

    Absolute mood. It feels like barely anyone’s heard anything but I still feel really worried and left out?!

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Personally I think CAPP will have a heavier weighting than WG, especially with the emphasis Links places on personalities! Lmao same, my exams season started the Monday just gone and I think I’ve spent more time refreshing my emails than I have with a textbook open 😅

    What’s the latest in the day have you all recieved invites/rejections? So far I’ve heard nothing, but keep my hopes up between 9-6:30.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    No news is good news. I’m just telling myself that they’ve had over a month to reject me and that patience is a virtue. I asked in December, I wanted to know if I failed since I did the last 10 questions of the WG in about 40 seconds. I scored 34/40 and was in the 84th percentile. CAPP results...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I sent an email to [email protected] and just asked if it was possible to know what I scored! I was convinced I failed it (I cried thru the last 10 questions and did them in about 40 seconds after getting bad family news) and just wanted to know what I got. I asked at 9pm and...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Feel like I’m going crazy, I’ve heard nothing back from the 3 I applied to. Applied for Links a few days before the deadline, scored 84 on the WG, and I don’t think my CAPP was bad either. Heard nothing from Freshfields or MdR. I’m perfectly fine with rejection, it’s the waiting I can’t handle.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    100% agree, we’ve just got to be patient now. I have to admit I check my emails every 15 minutes and this sub every hours and it makes me feel a little sick every time 🤪

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Rob’s the first person I’ve seen invited to an AC that wasn’t on the Pathfinder scheme. Links have sent out plenty of rejections weeks ago, I think we just have to be patient and wait for invites too.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I’ve heard and seen nothing, and I’m still ‘on hold’ for the Spring Scheme. The only people I’ve seen have ACs were on the Pathfinder Scheme.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I must check my emails about 5 times a day to see if I’ve had any response, even a rejection email. Links is my first application and it’s the one I want realllly bad. I’ve heard nothing back from my other two either (Freshfields and MdR) so I’m pretty nervous all round

    I’ve also heard nothing from Linklaters - I’m still on hold for the Spring VS. I imagine they’ve probably done all the fast tracked applications first with a separate AC. I think the rest of us might hear back next week if you’re getting offers this week.
