[QUOTE="BiancaR, post: 32438, member: 6112"] Hi Carina, Congratulations on your TC and thank you so much for starting this thread! As an international student, it's really exciting and reassuring to know that other international applicants have succeeded in getting their dream training contracts- it makes this whole journey feel a little bit more possible! I have a couple of questions if you happen to have extra time! First, how did you represent your academic background on applications? I've been struggling with how to represent my high school-grades/standardised exams because I don't have a traditional A-level equivalent. Would you recommend sending a short explanation to grad recruitment after each application? Secondly, do you have any recommendations for making international legal experience relevant to UK law? I'm not really sure how to explain how my legal experience in my home country translates into a different legal context. Finally, how did you go about researching firms that accept/sponsor international applicants? My apologies for asking so many questions and thank you so much again for offering your advice. :) [/QUOTE]
