Don't believe they've opened yet - I think they open in the next few weeks. From what I remember they open them after they're finished the VS cycle so they can allocate however many offers to VS students that they want.

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

Was it worth applying to Hogan Lovells? I just submitted mine a few days back and am wondering if putting all that effort into a Direct TC was worth it.
I feel you, we have been through a very challenging application cycle. I have applied for a direct tax with white & case, I can tell you that it was an interesting learning experience as my app is completely different from my previous one. We can only see the glass half full and give our best!
Fingers crossed for you!
IMO it's no different to any others - don't let it put you off from applying. With enough practice, all WGs are very passable.
Might be too early but has anyone heard back from Ince following the VI?
I applied for the direct TC but haven’t heard at all. Not even been sent the WG. So 🤷🏽♀️ There’s a while to the deadline so I’m a bit concerned about what’s happening.
Has anyone recently completed the Dentons AC who might be willing to give advice on how to prepare? I've heard it's fairly theoretical and I'm just not sure of the most effective way to research...
Thanks in advance!

I believe they’re starting to let people know now as I heard back yesterday

Generally speaking, prepping answers by learning a script is a bad idea for this reason - your responses can seem wooden and impersonal. I always recommend against scripted answers in that way.
I completely agreed with what Jacob has said.
Also, to add from my own mistakes. Overprepping and finding out you have a question which has slightly different wording, or is just a completely different question altogether, can throw you off completely if you're relying on a script.
Most of the time, firms want to see a natural response to a question. ☺️
After 3 cycles and countless rejections, I have accepted a TC with my dream firm 🥳 Very grateful for TCLA.
I posted the below just before my first interview with the firm and it's been difficult to go through the already intense process while grieving (& starting a new job!), but I somehow did it!
Would be very happy to help other people if I can, just send me a message.
Hasn't quite sunk in yet!
