[QUOTE="Abstruser, post: 14916, member: 260"] I think you should apply ASAP! I wouldn't say extracurriculars are super important in and of themselves. Its important to have solid experiences which demonstrate your interest in commercial law, which might come from work experience or extracurriculars (or both), depending on each person. It's a plus point to show that you're an all-rounder, but not absolutely essential IMO, and definitely not important enough to merit putting off an application! In any event you do seem to already have quite a well-rounded profile - sitting as a committee member, working part-time at uni and speaking 4 languages (!) is already quite impressive. You seem to have a pretty solid CV and enough experiences to demonstrate an interest in commercial law, so I wouldn't wait to hear back from the pro bono/research positions, especially as they aren't immediately relevant to commercial law anyway. So again - I think you should apply now, rather than wait. All the best! [/QUOTE]
