TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
- Thread starter Ram Sabaratnam
- Start date
Probably because it makes them look unprofessional for candidates to find out outcomes before they inform us. Also, since they said “w/c December 8”, they might want to let all candidates hear back at once and when they say.
On their page, smart recruiters say that archived is tantamount to rejection
i applied for the openday this year and was rejected, it still says archived lol
In case this is helpful to anyone, this is how my application which was rejected last year (edited for anonymity) looks side by side with my seemingly active application:
Thanks for the case study. I think it could be plausible to think that archived means rejected.
Just checked and I have the famous archived status for CC😬 I had done their open day and of 3 of their forage courses. Can only see what happens next week 😋
Just checked it says still under review and I am applying for 2028 TC. I'd take it as a jackpot if I got shortlisted to AC as I never intended to apply before since I never went to their events or OD prior submitting my app like any other Magic firms! Lol
My open day application isn’t on there as they used vantage (candid) last year so not sure how the person above had a last year application status as this is a new portal 🤔
I think the whole “under review” discussion was regarding CC, not AO
What I’m interested about is Slaughter and May… I saw someone who had their status changed to “interview” but they weren’t officially invited by email. I wonder what’s up with that
If you make it known you want to progress with them they’ll reject you! I think they’re after the nonchalant type I fear😂 I emailed them stating I had another offer at 6pm as they state that you must let them know if you do. They rejected me next day 9:30am and didn’t respond to my email. 🤝
This was all last week.
I have a TC offer and they say if you have one to email then so they can interview you earlier. Obviously I was too good so they rejected me😭
Oh, I’m so sorry!!! But also huge congrats for the TC offer
)Yep, I never attended both firm events prior submitting, just Legal Cheek Fair post deadline, so I wrote the app based on my holistic due diligence and never thought I'd pass, that's why I said so.
Do you think CC does prefer candidates who did VS in any law firms like Linklaters? I had no legal experience, so that might be explaining in case I got a no from them just like last year applicants.
Also, I noticed that they sort of wait-list candidates last year, wondering if this kind of thing happens again now. It's my first cycle anyway.
still applying to firms despite securing a tc? i could never 😩
Luckily it’s me and not you then. Who said I didn’t get my offer after applying to slaughters 😄
Not every firm is for everyone. 2 years working 9-14 hour days in the wrong place can have a hit on you. Not saying the firm I hold an offer from is bad but we all had our reasons
Tc offer doesn’t = securing a tc
