[QUOTE="Jen E C, post: 26339, member: 485"] Completely agree with the advice above, particularly concerning the possibility of making applications once you have completely finished with university. There's a constant pressure to have something lined up for once you graduate but there's no harm at all taking a year out to focus on producing more high quality applications. It also allows you to get your applications in earlier, which can only increase your odds. You will have learned so much from those rejections which you won't realise until you start your next one. I am also dyslexic and the best thing I found was to have someone read my application, particularly people who had nothing to do with law. They were able to point out which sentences were too long or flowery (which I had thought were perfectly okay but never mind haha), where something was unclear, or where the structure could be jiggled around slightly. If it is clear to the lay person, I think it improves the quality of your application immensely. [/QUOTE]
