[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 157411, member: 30937"] It can definitely feel like they are requiring something so specific. I felt the same way last year when I was applying and I could not have any luck with magic circle firms (even though I knew I would prefer a US firm regardless). I feel like, especially as a mature student or international student, US firms tend to be more interested in you and your life journey and why you are transitioning in law, recognising your diverse skillset and how it could be useful to them too. So I would encourage you to focus on US firms. That is what I have done and I ended up having multiple offers as an international student (with an undergraduate degree outside of the UK) which was another hurdle in itself! [/QUOTE]
