It was varied for me. High in some pillars but low in others. you? Personally not reflective of who I am as an individual but thats how it is with SJT's i guess.
TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

- Start date
The RS person who posts regularly here said they will be going in batches and that only one batch had gone so far
If you applied for the WVS or SVS and got PFO post app, then you can re-apply for the DTC in the same application cycle.
However, if you made it to the VI or AC stage, I don’t think you are allowed to re-apply for their DTC in this application cycle. 🥲

hello! hope you are well, do you know what the deadline time is - 11:59 am or pm? Thanks xx
No worries, I’ve spoken to a future trainee on LinkedIn and she told me she got her AC email around 2 weeks after the WG invite.I’m not too sure about their recruitment process if I’m being entirely honest
Idk if they’re still sending the test so maybe waiting for everyone to get their results in and I’m not too sure if their vac schemes are still going on which would mean waiting a bit longer
Sorry I couldn’t be of any help
Thought I’d hop back on to let you know
Hi all. Has anyone heard back from Macfarlanes DTC after completing the online assessment? I completed mine on 4 July and haven't heard anything since + I can't see a timeline on their website...
Thank you so much for the updateNo worries, I’ve spoken to a future trainee on LinkedIn and she told me she got her AC email around 2 weeks after the WG invite.

Means a lot!
I have got my final year results back and I have three 2:1s and three 2:2s. My overall grade is a low 2:1. How low have my chances become of getting a training contract? For context, I am an international student and to stay in the UK, I would require a decent salary so that it meets the salary threshold to get a work visa but most well-paying firms demand a high 2:1 if I'm not wrong

I don’t think most firms are too strict with the grades. Just apply anyway!
Hello, congratulations on your result and your 2:1! While most firms might appreciate a high 2:1 or a 1st, the actual requirement most firms have is that you have a 2:1, 'low' or not. With your grade you can apply to lots of firms that pay high enough to pass the salary threshold, simply leverage your other skills and achievements to stand out from the crowd, since most people will have a 2:1. HFW that pays well is still open and their requirement is a 2:1, which you have.
Also most applications close on 11:59pm on the day stated as you might have experienced with W&C, as you asked earlier. But of course, check if they have stated otherwise, and then note that as the deadline.
Good luck, you are eligible and capable!

Firms like BCLP have no minimum requirements and pay high salaries. Most firms that aren't US or MC firms just want a 2:1 regardless of it being high or low.
You'll be okay.
Does anyone know if HFW/HL/Stephenson Harwood is strict with their 2:1 requirement?
I have confirmed a low 2:1 average. Most of my grades in second and final year had been mid 2:1 to first, just one blip in every year (core, one high 2:2, one 3rd). All my commercial law modules were at least mid 2:1s
I have gotten past RS application form stage before that 3rd came out and now I’m worried that my future apps will be held down significantly.
