[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 226195, member: 36777"] While I cannot make any decent estimation of your overall success chances at this stage (as that depends on a huge number of variables and unknowns), I would advise you to try to make more applications if you have the available time. Generally, to maximise chances of securing a TC, I think [B]the best strategy is to seek to make as many high quality applications as possible[/B] - this is the best (and, arguably, only) way to reduce the importance of the luck factor. Because of how competitive applications at top firms are, even if you are an incredibly strong candidate and have written a brilliant application, you can never have a very high credence you will succeed in any individual application, simply because recruiters have to constantly make difficult choices between great candidates. Nonetheless, if this is the case and you have submitted 30 applications, even if you only had a say approx. 10-20% success chance with every individual application, your overall odds of getting a TC will be much higher.
