[QUOTE="RANDOTRON, post: 144799, member: 16724"] Hi, I just read through this thread and congrats on coming this far! Both [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] and [USER=17165]@George Maxwell[/USER] have given excellent advice and insight, so I don't have anything to add by way of advice. But I thought I'd share some personal experience. I did the International Baccalaureate and got roughly BBC (converted to A-level) while a friend got DDD. Both of us went to non-Russell Group universities for our undergrad and Russell Group for our postgrad. I personally hesitated applying during both my undergrad and postgrad, because I thought my IB score would mean I would never succeed and I feared rejection. But one day I figured why not, it's not like I have to pay to apply, so what's the risk? So I applied to a list of City firms. And now both my friend and I have TCs at international law firms in London. And the lesson I learned is: let them say no to you. I also noticed your comment that you have a bad habit of scrolling LinkedIn and comparing yourself to trainees with seemingly impeccable academic profiles. But don't compare yourself to them – everyone's journey is different.. If you find it really distracting, one way you could deal with this is to unfollow people in your connection. In case you're interested, here's how to [URL='https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mass-unfollow-linkedin-connections-mighil-/']mass unfollow[/URL] your connections. You got this! 👍 [/QUOTE]
