Message: <blockquote data-quote="getitjules" data-source="post: 220290" data-attributes="member: 42729">Hey! I am struggling a little here.I am in year 12 currently applying for year 12 schemes. Multiple law firms seem to have programmes and development schemes as well as work experiences for those who are low-income and from underrepresented backgrounds; however, I seem to be rejected from every single one and I am not sure why as there isn't individual feedback.I have recently been interested in law (in the past couple of years) after years of working towards a STEM career. It started off in a law competition I took part in which was more related to human rights law but then that moved onto searching more about commercial law. I have taken part in online internships that are available to all in commercial law but I am struggling to find any experiences to showcase my passion.The general feedback all applicants are receiving is to search up more about the firm, more commercial awareness? I am not sure. I do not know how to do this. I looked into previous cases - although I struggled understanding much of it, I did break the cases down and researched it more. I included the cases I found interesting although probably gave a surface level outlook on it. It also states why I want to join the firm for this programme - again I assume I'd have to research the firm and what the programme offers. Other than the website, I am not sure how to do this further?I went to an awful school and lived much of my life in poverty so all these opportunities I am coming across, now that I go to a really good school, are eye opening and have completely frazzled my mind! I'd love to get in to one of these programmes but I feel as though I am destined to not get in as someone that doesn't have much experience to begin with especially in commercial law. How is anyone getting into these programmes??</blockquote>
