    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I wouldn't be so sure, I haven't actually seen anyone say that they've received a response yet. It could just be that they had more applications than expected. Never a PFO until the email comes through!

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

For example, if you...

    I have no clue tbh. I've seen some people suggest that getting through to the WG stage was done through an initial screening and then they will assess our application holistically with our WG result. If that's the case, I imagine we could be waiting for a bit longer. However, if there is no...

    Thanks for the response! I really really hope it isn't the case that you have to press submit... Regardless, I've emailed GR for confirmation.

    Hi guys, Just completed the Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser - I'm sure it's fine but I didn't press submit at the end because I was going back and checking through my answers, and the screen froze. I then refreshed and it said the standard thanks for completing etc - just want to check if this had...

    Apparently, it's rolling. Personally, I've decided to focus on a couple of non-rolling ones still open, namely Weil and Stephenson Harwood.

    Ah ok, thanks a lot @Adrian_S and @malvern3142! I think I'll prioritise getting Weil and Stephenson Harwood completed since they are both non-rolling

    Could just be that there were more applications to get through than expected, thus the long wait time. I haven't seen anyone post to say they've heard back

    Hi @George Maxwell, Thanks a lot for the detailed and useful response! I've posted the questions in response to @Raynz above. The work experience section has a 250-word limit, so I think your suggested structure will allow me to hit that. I'll take your advice on board and will try to get...
