TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hey all--friend had TC interview last week at Slaughters, if they haven't contacted their references yet should we assume PFO?
Coming back to this, in case it's helpful for anyone. I had my interview today and was told they meet once a week to discuss applications and outcomes. I'm not sure what day they meet (or when your friend interviewed), but I was told I might not make it into this week's consideration, so I might have to wait an extra week for a decision.

I've heard they meet on Friday, if anyone can confirm--but best of luck! Hope it went well.
