    @Jaysen and Team

    What TCLA newsletters/emails are there please? I want to make sure I am subscribed to all going into the 25/26 application cycle, and I think I am unsubscribed from some.

    Absolutely. The best one we have right now is this one.

    This will also make sure you get any upcoming emails ahead of the application cycle. The plan is to send you all the best information we have about how to get a training contract this year :)

    Hi guys! Does anyone have any advice on how to stay motivated on a vacation scheme after just having completed others?

    It is very taxing to do multiple vacation schemes. If it was me, I'd focus on the end goal: after another two weeks, you could come out with multiple training contract offers and you'll be grateful for what you've achieved (especially if they don't all convert).

    Has anyone heard from Dorsey after app submission (TC)?

    I received a PFO at 15:39 today:

    "Thank you for taking the time to apply for a Training Contract with Dorsey & Whitney.


    Regrettably, we will not be able to advance you to the 1st stage of the process.

    The standard of applications was particularly high this year and this is always a difficult decision to make."

    Sorry to hear!:( They do take very few people so it must be incredibly selective
