    Ugh trying to remain positive about Freshfield AC for Direct TC but I know some invites have already been sent out, and the AC's begin on the the 9th of August. Should I give up hope or is there a chance they could send early next week, with only a weeks notice before AC? :(

    Are AC invites done in a specific order? Should I be worried if I know other people have already got theirs?

    No problem. On the deadline, so very late in the day! I'm sure that the order is random though :)

    Hey! I am currently waiting to find out if I got AC for Freshfields (fingers crossed!!!!!) To prepare, do you have any information on yours that you could share? How did it go?

    So does this mean for firms where you can only apply to one thing this cycle, applying this summer will prevent you from applying later this year? Does anyone have further information about which firms allow both?

    Apologies if this is a silly question. If I apply for direct TC applications this summer, does this count as an application in '2020/21' cycle and will I be apply to reapply in the Autumn for Vac Schemes etc to the same firms, if I have been unsuccessful ?

    Another question on this- did you take time between the GDL and LPC? I am in two minds about what to do when I finish in April and where to go from there.

    This is such an encouraging post. I feel so worried because I feel like the GDL is the year I desperately NEED to secure one and if I haven't, it has all been a waste but your perspective is really useful and great. If its ok, I may private message you to gain some additional insight into your...

    That is super helpful and definitely true. I am actually already volunteering on 3 pro bono projects while completing my GDL, as well as having completed 2 previous legal work experience roles.

    I have had people informally review them but not on the TCLA- I wanted to sign up for the membership but I just cannot afford it at the moment. I am saving to become a member so I can use the services for direct TC apps this summer.
