Oh well patience, im going to force my self to find the will to complete applications and if all else fails find a backup plan coz sqe prices are crazy, law is actually such a gatekeeped career yet they want inclusivity .... side eye fr [B][U]So heres some background:[/U][/B] - i set myself up in first year not knowing much about law, didn't know there was schemes, went to one open-day and was put off MC firms - second year had some better knowledge of schemes etc, had poor technique, did like one app fluked that, got onto one open day - now we're onto third year [B][U]Applications[/U][/B] -i applied to 9 VS so far - rejected from 5, normally after WG tests (hate her so much) - waiting to hear back from: Travers, Shoosmiths (TC, VS rejected), Stephenson Harwood, Russell Cooke, Browne Jacobson (SJT to complete) [B][U]Interests[/U][/B] - my interests in law: ip, tech, litigation, contracts, immigration (its so difficult to say what i actually like because im so open-minded, this is just based on modules i took and enjoyed at uni.... how do they expect me to have a dedicated interest when im being gatekeeped from the career 🫠 [/QUOTE]
