[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 51680, member: 1"] Very interesting to read. It does sound like you have an impressive background, but perhaps the rest of your application form wasn't strong enough to lead to an interview invitation. I'd be careful of drawing too many conclusions in your first post from your own experience. It's hard to know without seeing your application form, but it may be the case you were falling into common traps in your application answers, and your grades weren't enough to save you there. As you said, you may have also come across as a little much in the application form, which can be quite a tricky line to balance - even if you do have the experiences to back this up. Finally, as Jess said, it's possible that you weren't providing a convincing narrative about why you want to be a commercial lawyer in the UK. I don't know if this is the case, but I can imagine if you were selling all your varied experiences in your application form - from your international experiences to your startup ventures - there may have been doubts about your motivations.
