TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
I'm in third year currently and my advice would be to prioritise grades over anything else because you only have one shot to get good grades at uni whereas you can always re-apply once you graduate. While you don't need firsts in every module to get a TC I do think it helps and it's the one...- carys09

This is quite a common obstacle faced by plenty of international students. My friend had an issue with this with the W&C winter scheme and when she spoke to grad rec they were able to switch her to the spring scheme. If there are any other scheme dates that don't clash with term maybe ask if you...- carys09

At their open day, they said they invite about 100 people per vac scheme to the AC and I think they have 3 more vac schemes this year (spring and two summer) so that's about 300- carys09

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone could help clarify what counts as an 'extracurricular activities'? e.g. when a firm asks 'Please give details of any interests and extra-curricular activities, including any positions of responsibility or achievements. Tell us what skills and competencies you have...- carys09

I went to an application workshop last year and they were very clear that you don't need to mention any Hogan Lovells events as they know not everyone can easily attend. I would definitely mention the virtual events and if you can remember the names of any firms that collaborated with Legal...- carys09

Oxbridge student rejected from every MC and US firm vac scheme I applied to
Hiya! I was in the exact same position last year - I'm currently a third-year lawyer at Cambridge, got nothing but rejections last year and now reapplying. I also got a 2:1 in first year. My advice would be not to give up on the MC/US firms if that's what you really want. It's not uncommon for...- carys09
