Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ellis Finch" data-source="post: 91916" data-attributes="member: 8681">Hi folks, Basically, I have been met with rejection after rejection in the last cycle. I have BCC in my A-levels, a first-class LLB degree from non-RG uni, and then a distinction in an LLM from a RG uni. I have some mitigating circumstances for my A-levels. I also have 9 months' experience as a paralegal, which is my current role. I have 3 mini-pupillages with very respectable barristers' chambers. I also have a couple of awards from Inner Temple for students from underrepresented backgrounds.However, with all these things, I still cannot secure a vacation scheme or training contract. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, other than there being strict cut off A-level requirements. I am just feeling a bit hopeless. I worked so hard to make up for the bad A-levels, and it's beginning to feel like it didn't matter. I'd really appreciate some words of encouragement or people in similar circs that have managed to get a VS/TCs to offer their guidance. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
