[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 218179, member: 42112"] Hey! Thank you for sharing your journey - it takes real courage to put yourself out there, and I’m so glad you decided to post this year :) It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, but the way you’ve pushed through and finished final year with a really great grade is inspiring! That determination and resilience will definitely serve you well this application cycle. It’s also great to hear that you are being intentional with your applications - focusing on firms that are the right fit for you is a great plan, and it really does help when drafting tailored applications. Making it to Bristows’ virtual interview is a huge achievement in itself, and a sign that you are taking all the right steps! Wishing you the best of luck with your applications and SQE1 in January - I’m also sitting in Jan, so I understand how difficult it is! You’ve got the mindset, self-awareness, and motivation - so you’re already halfway there! We’re all rooting for you, and looking forward to seeing your updates this cycle! :) [/QUOTE]
