    Hey!

    I have read some threads here on people's journeys to TCs, and I thought I would contribute too! I hope that my journey will inspire others. I do sincerely hope that I will end up getting a TC soon and I will aim to update this regularly with my thoughts and insights.

    I graduated from Durham with a high 2:1 with a non-law degree, and I decided to self-fund my GDL + SQE1 training, which I am currently remotely studying!

    This is my first 'real' application cycle, as last year I only applied to Eversheds Sutherland after an impromptu attendance at one of their Insight evenings.

    Applications this cycle (2023-2024) - Vacation Schemes only
    Baker McKenzie
    Latham & Watkins
    Covington
    Mayer Brown
    Dechert
    Gowling WLG
    Linklaters

    Yet to apply to
    Norton Rose Fulbright
    Shoosmiths

    Top choice firms that I did not have the confidence to apply to (maybe next year!)
    Allen & Overy
    Hogan Lovells
    DLA Piper
