Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheCustardPants" data-source="post: 9577" data-attributes="member: 557">Hey guys,Hope you're well!I just have a few questions about applying for a direct training contract in the summer. I'm in my third and final year of university at LSE studying Law, and I've been applying for vac schemes since my second year. It looks like I won't be getting one this summer, despite having a few interviews.My first question is, what are the chances of me getting to a direct TC interview this summer, if I make an application, even though I haven't done any previous vac schemes? My following experience is this: (1) attended numerous (7 to be precise) open days at US and MC firms (2) Did one week of legal experience in Dubai (3) have undertaken lots of extra-curricular positions at my university, such as Peer Support and Widening Participation (4) and have been in a part-time research job for 2 years. I'll get a strong 2.1 from the LSE, in the region of 65-69 as an overall mark,My second question is, after the summer deadlines close for direct TC, is this the last chance to apply for a 2021 TC? I'm quite concerned, because if I do apply after the summer cycle, does this mean I will have to wait until 2022 to commence my TC? This seems a long time away to wait to begin a job, despite the LPC. Thirdly, if it happens to be 2022, what are the chances a firm will move your TC forward if you ask? (E.g. if someone drops out etc)Thanks guys!TCP <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
