    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to say that I was offered a training contract from a US firm (a number one choice and dream firm of mine!). I have made applications for the past 3 years and have finally secured a TC. This was going to be my last and I was honestly going to give up after this...

    I’ve checked the SRA website and that’s definitely not true. You pick one or the other, there’s no crossover, that would just be messy for everyone involved.

    The latter isn’t true right? I’m pretty sure if you’ve done the LPC that’s it, you don’t need to go down the SQE route.

    Hi I did their app a year ago and got through to their AC. I talked about why them. However since they are a commercial firm, this will end up factoring into your answer anyway - at least it did with mine. Hope this helps.

    I assume this is the case particularly when you do not have serious mitigating circumstances that contributed to your lower grades? I am in a similar situation, however there have been circumstances beyond my control that have contributed.

    Hey really sorry to hear about your rejection. Just FYI Squire did not offer any TC’s to their Manchester vac schemers last year and instead invited the strong performing candidates back on for the 2021 summer scheme. It could just be a case of them not having spaces. I hope your other apps go well!
