For direct TCs, firms will often look for clear motivation and evidence that shows why you are interested in the firm you are applying for (and law generally), as well as strong performance in assessments throughout the process.If you have got strong grades and good experience, you definitely have a chance, particularly if you refine your applications and are specific about why that firm. I was in my final year of uni when I applied for Reed Smith's DTC, and I know many in my cohort were too!I'd definitely be strategic and only apply via the DTC route for firms that you are genuinely interested in, but it is worth it! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
