TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[AvniD]

got my rejection today which sucks. gutted and losing hope tbh

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Taking a break for a while should help refocus and process your disappointment though. We're here for you on the forum- just give us a shout if we can ever help with anything.

Still nothing from Freshfields, getting a bit ridiculous at this point, didn't think they were the type to ghost

 

[Sarai]

Lol same! I thought it was a mistake. I applied too. Any response?

I haven't finished my application yet. Guess there's no harm applying, I'll see if anything comes from it.

Has anyone heard from CRS post-app?

 

[Beluga]

Freshfields Direct TC WG invite — seemingly still handing em out

 

[Millymilly]

Has anyone heard from CRS post-app?

I did the VI back in Feb but haven't heard anything since.

 

[Lumree]

Has anyone heard back from Sky this week? They said they’d be in touch this week!

 

[JSM123]

Also got a Freshfields WG invite - completely surprised as it so late but goes to show you never really know what firms are going to do. Good luck to all those still waiting xx

Darn, was hoping they hadn't started sending them out. In any case, I hope they get back to you!

If I did my Freshfields WG two weeks ago (final year student here, applied for TC 2024) and I still haven't heard back should I start crying myself to sleep? Considering they're still handing out WG invites I guess I can postpone the pity party?

Also to ask again how did you all see your WG results? Someone asked in the thread before but I didn't see anyone answering it.

Freshfields AC! I would be super grateful if anyone could give some advice on what to expect?

Nooo please don't worry. I did mine way earlier than you I only heard back today lol. I did mine around 24 Jan. Also don't stress about WG scores. Last year I scored in 98th percentile on WG but still failed after because I think they re-examine your application again and I guess it depends on competition. I know people who scored lower on the WG (like around 80s) and they got invited to the AC. So it's more to do with your app I'm guessing.

I did my WG around 24 Jan! I saw the latest slot was 18th March

 

[A.Diane01]

Has anyone been through Brabners application process who wouldn’t mind me asking a couple of Qs? 😇

it (on paper) looks quite extensive compared to others so just want to get an idea of the process before applying

Hi, how was the VI? Do you have any tips? I have to do mine soon.

 

[IL1700]

Anyone know what Freshfields’ response time post-AC is like? Do they tend to wait til all their ACs are done to give offers?

Hello, everyone. Could anyone pls confirm if Ashurst sponsors visas for international candidates? I mailed them about 10 days ago and I'm yet to hear back.

Thanks in advance.
