TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Just completed VI for Michelmores and received a feedback report. Unsure if I'll pass the benchmark with result of 20/36 (6/9 Grit, 6/9 Applied Intellect, 4/9 Creative Force, 4/9 Digital Mindset).

Any insight (into whether this is any good or if I should prepare myself for PFO!) would be gratefully received - I know it's difficult to gauge, and comes across as a sort of how long is a piece of string question, but is 20/36 generally a pass for firms like MM?

With a Milbank VS PFO, I am now out of the running for any VSs this cycle. Do you have any advice for getting into applying for TCs this late in the cycle? (I am currently a penultimate-year law student)
@Ram Sabaratnam

Does Curtis get back to applicants? Has anyone heard anything?

 

[ashwright]

Has anyone had any luck asking Linklaters GR for an update? I think someone mentioned that the auto-reply said they were aiming to get back end of Jan? Tempted to check-in with them but don't want to badger them

[Logan1101]

congrats!!

Here's the thing I've already screwed up assessment centres with Freshfields and Hogan Lovells so I'm not so confident here. I need to get polished like the other candidates by getting interview prep otherwise nothing changes.😅
