That is awesome! Congratulations
When did you apply? and when did you hear back about your AC?
Applied the second week of December, had the AC last Thursday. One of the partners called me this morning.That is awesome! Congratulations
When did you apply? and when did you hear back about your AC?
that's amazing - well done!! can I ask if you got a first in your degree? i got a 2.1 and got rejected from slaughters right away last year, just wondering if it's my grades or my cover letter that's not good enough
Congratulations!!
So it took a year long until the AC, right? Will you be in the cohorts starting at September 2026 or March 2027?
Sorry correction - second week of September 2024. This is for the 2027/28 start.
Hi all,
Currently engaged with the Pinsent Masons direct TC application blended assessment. Was hoping that before I undertook the 'video question' portion of the test I could get a steer on the kind of questions they ask here from anyone who has previously engaged with the application, historically or this cycle. Are they generally questions about your life and motivations for commercial law or more firm specific, i.e asking you to comment on the firms current work/ challenges?
Thanks

Omggg congratulations! What was the AC like? & how long did you wait till you got your AC invite?
Wanted to ask a question in the other thread but it looks a bit busy at the moment so I will put it here...
I am keen to apply to King & Spalding's insight programmes but none of their dates work for me. Does anyone know if they will be at any virtual law fairs? How else can we build interactions with the firm?
Thank you!

They’ve been at a few virtual events this cycle. Legal Cheek fairs I think.
I also know that their open day last year was virtual. Might be the same this year?

Hey @Izzy1026
I’ve done some research and found out that K&S will be present at the Legal Cheek 2024 Law Fair. I have linked the sign up details here:
Does anyone know which firms in Manchester actually take on a healthy amount of their trainees from the direct TC route? I can’t really take 2 weeks off for a vac scheme due to work constraints so don’t want to spend loads of time applying to firms when they don’t actually take anyone from the direct TC route
