TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica！Most of the firms prefer a strong 2.1 . I achieved around 65% across most of the modules with mitigating circumstance. How does firms consider these conditions？

Unfortunately this is down to very individual circumstances (and rightly so), plus different firms will take different approaches too.

I wouldn’t say most firms require you to have a strong 2.1 though and ultimately you have strong grades anyway, so I wouldn’t worry about this.

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre Do you know how long Freshfields usually take to come back if you’ve been progressed to the WG stage?

Last year ppl got it around March. I am assuming it will be the same this time. They are running ACs till end of Feb for vac schemes so we could hear back around Feb end / March?

I don’t think there is a set time unfortunately.

One of the questions for "Motivation for Commercial Law" in TCLA's question bank is "Tell us about where you are in your life and how you have ended up here today". How to answer this question?
