[QUOTE="robertg22, post: 215390, member: 36812"] Hey guys! Looking for confirmation of whether my profile would be strong enough for Direct TC applications. The last 2 I submitted (July 2025, officially still penultimate admittedly) came out with first-stage rejections as I am left to wonder whether that was due to luck, poor profile or poor essays. AAB (with extenuating), Warwick Uni, final year, on track for a 1st, BA Phil Pol and Law Legal Consultant at a non-uk (civil court) law firm for a year ESL Tutor for 2 years Pro Bono Immigration Law org Intern 1 month Law Careers Research Assistant 1 month Mediation Clinic Assistant 1 month Risk and Compliance intern at a bank 1 month I understand it's not vacation schemes, but I feel like given the mentions of the Virtual Vac Schemes it should have ticked all the boxes for why I am interested in Commercial Contentious Law? Is my international student status affecting it? Was it my penultimate year non-law status? My essays have been triple verified my academic advisors at my uni and I can't really find anything else to suggest I am a bad candidate? Sorry if this is a rant, law applications are a tough and confusing space! Thanks in advance, love! [/QUOTE]
