If it helps, you have to log onto your portal to check for an update on your AG and TLT apps. They don't send emails and it wasn't until I logged into my portal that I saw I was unsuccessful.

Thanks for this. I've checked them both and neither have been updated. I'm sorry to hear you were rejected. Was that this cycle for London?

Hi everyone,

This time last year I was rejected for a TC after completing a vacation scheme at a firm I already worked at.. it left me really deflated and unmotivated. I thought a TC would just always be out of reach.

Fast forward a year, I have today been offered a TC at Pinsent Masons!!! I could not have picked up the motivation to start applications again without the help of TCLA and so many of the wonderful individuals on here. So a huge huge thanks to everyone on here!

Resilience really is key and I truly believe everyone will get there eventually!! to anyone struggling with motivation, KEEP GOING!

Amazing!! Well done

Has anyone heard back from Vinson & Elkins, Gibson Dunn, Weil, Travers, Macs, TLT, AG, Dentons, HFW or Boodle for direct TC (just the London offices)?

V&E definitely gave out some TC's following their VS (which they ran very early in the season).

No, Manchester.

Has anyone heard back from Pinsent Masons direct TC or have they just made offers to vac schemers so far?

 

[dosblancos7]

Has anyone heard back from Freshfields post WG, other than the person on TSR?

Seconding this!
Also has anyone heard from W&C?

Hey to anyone who did Bakers’ AC today, how was it?

Just received my second TC offer! Over the moon would be putting it mildly! Just one more to go now. Best of luck to everyone waiting for callbacks!

Congratulations!

Remember to turn down the one you don't want promptly - it will help someone else get an offer!

Ah, good point! I have some thinking to do for sure.

Thank you! Sat on HSF/FF currently. FF are seemingly doing callbacks for the VS's this week. This is likely why we have seen a flurry of activity with Direct TC's being progressed.
