[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 208857, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=28318]@B101[/USER] From what I've observed in previous cycles, Orrick typically sources the majority of its trainees through its vacation schemes. Direct training contract offers have historically been quite rare. While some applicants have been invited to assessment centres via the direct TC route, it has generally proven challenging for candidates to secure offers this way. I've met various candidates who either did not receive offers or were placed on a reserve list, potentially to be considered if someone from the vacation scheme declined their position. That said, applying directly could still be worth considering if you're particularly keen on the firm. However, given the length of their application form, I'd suggest carefully reflecting on whether the time and effort of a direct application aligns with your broader application strategy. Given the competitive nature of this route at Orrick, you might also want to think about prioritising other firms that have a clearer track record of hiring more trainees directly. If Orrick genuinely aligns closely with your interests, you might decide it's worth a shot, but it's also helpful to approach the decision by considering other equally impressive firms with good track records of accepting trainees through the direct TC route. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
