[QUOTE="Armiie, post: 41660, member: 8695"] Hello, I hope this long post finds you well during such tough times. I'd truly appreciate any advice. I'm 19 and currently studying Computer Science at a non-RG University. My goal has always been to eventually go into law, but following some difficult times during & after my A levels, I completely threw that dream away and chose to study CompSci. The goal now is to graduate, do the GDL (soon to be called SQE), and get a career within corporate law. Why do I want to all of a sudden do Law again? Honestly? Because I know deep down that I can, I'm not someone who lets her fears control her & I'm not about to become that girl now. I know I can do this, but others don't seem to think so. I thought my plans to become a lawyer were ruined following my A level results when I found out I had received grades B and C in my exams. I went on a gap year & tried to sort myself out as much as possible (mentally & physically). I did have extenuating/mitigating circumstances near the end of my GCSE's and in year 2 of my A level's (horrible timing). I'm here to ask you for some advice. To ask if you agree with the many others who have said it's hopeless for me to ever imagine I'd be able to work at a magic circle law firm in the future? The long-term plan was to do my GDL (SQE), get into a magic circle law firm & eventually transfer over to the US, and work there. But I have had many people tell me that I'm being "stupid" & it's "impossible". I took a look at the websites of some MC (and other) firms. The following have [I]said [/I]they (1) don't look at A level grades or (2) they take into account the whole application / mitigating circumstances: - A & O - Slaughter & May - Clifford Chance - Linklaters - DLA Piper Please be as honest as possible. I appreciate you taking the time to read this essay:p Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
