[QUOTE="HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh, post: 93437, member: 8899"] I strongly suspect (although correct me anybody if I'm wrong!) that the marking notes of your application essays on firm records will not be detailed or hugely helpful--they won't be designed for giving feedback to applicants. Have you tried the TCLA application review yet? Personally I found that a thousand times more helpful than asking anybody else--getting feedback from a graduate recruiter on the written aspect of your application is much more valuable than from a lawyer. The advice will be forensic and reflect much more closely the actual process. How are your grades, and are you applying to places where your grades are in line with their expectations, or at least their minimums? How many firms are you applying to, and are they good matches for you? Have you considered what experiences you have to include within your application and how they come across in your essays? If your grades aren't strong, having strong essays will help, as will experiences that show you're passionate and skilled at what you do. While writing the essays brilliantly is crucial, it's also obviously a lot easier if you have strong experiences to discuss that really demonstrate your skills and experience. It might be worth trying to bolster the experiences to discuss too? [/QUOTE]
