TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I've just finished drafting my Paul Hastings application and will submit in a day or two. Anyone in a similar position fancy swapping drafts for peer review?

Has anyone heard anything positive from either:
1. Mayer Brown (post VI+SJT)
2. Macfarlanes (post Simulate test - the second SJT with VI mixed in)
3. Bakers (post VI, since last weeks AC?)
4. Reed Smith (post written app - based on recent comments it seems not)

Mostly interested if any AC invites have gone out for MB, Macs or RS, or if anyone knows if Bakers is a guaranteed PFO atp?

Nothing back from MacFarlanes to anyone I think. I think they do it in July usually.
