Clyde & Co AC! 👑 Check your inboxes guys, they’ve just started sending the invites.

Congratulations! Can I ask what AC dates they gave you?

Hi @lik0401 - you should have received a confirmation email from me saying that you will hear from us in 15 working days from the date of the last test (which was yesterday) as we do not start marking until all exercises have been taken. You should hear from us on or by Weds 15 February (all candidates will hear at the same time). Although this may seem like a long time to wait, please do bear in mind that the exercises are marked diligently by two associates, so it does take some time to turn around. Thanks, Gemma.

Thank you very much Gemma!

I still haven’t heard from Linklaters post online tests and I applied in December. Do you think it’s okay to email grad rec to ask for an update on my application. Thanks .

Expecting my Clyde PFO now, which would be the final one. Sent 12 applications and never made to AC.

Congrats! What dates did they give you for the AC and is it remote or in person?

Thank you in advance.

@Jessica Booker Is it possible for me to private message you about a question regarding some personal information?

 

[CorpLawyer00]

yo what da heck man? I just got progressed onto bird & bird next stage but applied on deadline????? ???? ????

This is just a short appreciation update directed at the regular posters on this thread (and on TCLA more generally).

After a failed application cycle in 2021/22 (including a very bad AC performance, which I largely attribute to hubris), I questioned whether I'd ever secure a TC. Undeterred, I applied again during the current cycle - albeit a lot more selectively this time round. Fortunately, following a brilliant WVS at Travers Smith in December I have now been offered/accepted a TC with the firm! As a long-term lurker here since 2021, it only felt right to thank everyone for their advice and motivational messages (even if they weren't directed at me specifically). The camaraderie was really infectious and the advice often relatable. I genuinely feel like the comments here motivated me to continue trying, so a huge thank-you is long overdue!

If you're reading this and struggling with the process, try to remember that perseverance will prosper in the end. Best of luck to everyone - hope you smash it.

🙂

Ahh congratulations!! I've still not heard back post-VI but my friend got rejected from Manchester last week. I applied for London. Not sure what to think now?!
