I'd say no news is good new; I applied pretty late for summer but got a PFO todayI haven’t and I applied in November- could be that they are getting back to spring vac scheme applicants first?
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!

I’ve done Baker Mckenzie and white and case so far for direct Tc.Fellow Grads/Slightly older applicants - what firms have people been targeting?
I’ve been trying to go for firms that don’t use apply4law (they often require grade breakdowns and mine are sh*te), but obviously some firms will lean more towards valuing professional experience?
Just putting together the straight TC strategy now and making sure the apps are going to the right places!
Did they give us a choice for spring or summer? I can't remember and the email just says 'attend either of our vacation schemes'I haven’t and I applied in November- could be that they are getting back to spring vac scheme applicants first?

Anyone not yet heard from Ropes & Gray? I applied on the deadline so that might be why!
When the interview question is something like "tell us about a recent commercial story you've been following" is it better to discuss a specific headline and its implications? or can it be better to discuss general trends in the market like ESG or investment in tech and tie it back to law firms?
This is so me like every hour I check my emails and TCL forum more often than I check my WhatsApp and my socials do I need a life or what lokIs anyone else checking TCLA as much as they do their emails? It is a proper routine now - emails, TCLA, emails, TCLA lol
sameis Cleary still holding Acs, so confused on why I haven't heard back...
Yes that's exactly what I thought - only 2 people on this forum have heard back.omg Im so confused about them! as far as I know like 2 people have heard back.
This is what I fear when choosing a topic as I end up desperately trying to make it relevant to the firm and it might come across a bit forced. Thanks for confirming this Jaysen.I'm of the view that you don't have to link it to law firms - the firm is genuinely asking about a commercial topic you are interested in, so you don't need to make this link unprompted.
There's no harm in doing the latter, it just can lead to candidates discussing uninspiring topics because they're trying to answer a question they think the interviewer is asking.
I am waiting for my Orrick outcome for direct TC 2022 (applied May 2020) and grad rec said they are STILL reviewing these applications. No idea what's going on and yes, incredibly frustrating as this was my best app to date. Just to confirm, has your friend had the AC for direct TC 2022?!I have a friend who doesn't have TCLA but was wondering -
Is anyone waiting to hear back from Orrick post-2022 TC AC following a vac scheme app from last cycle? Would be good to see if anyone else is still waiting like she is?
