Here's a tray of eggs. How many chickens have you got?

Please be realistic. We take like 5 new trainees a year? This number includes Firsts from NUS, SMU, OxCam, Harvard, Yale and a crapload of firsts from leading universities all over the globe. You're a second year NUS student. Unless you're at the top of the Dean's list and have a surefire way of keeping your ass there for the next 3 years, you may have to accept the near certainty that a CC TC is just not going to happen.

Sorry to dampen your hopes, but that $10k trainee paycheck is not going to come easy. If you really want to come in, you stand a far better chance "lateralling in" after a few years in Big4 practice.
