[QUOTE="wooliewoo, post: 231157, member: 43172"] Hi! I have been kinda MIA on here recently (taking a break because I am so burnt out) but I wanted to respond to this because I completely get how you feel! With competition getting steeper, it's reasonable to worry whether you are good enough. But I want to reassure you that you have a competitive profile, and many firms will take a holistic assessment of your application and will certainly consider the mitigating circumstances! Furthermore, your year of legal experience is actually a huge bonus! I have heard that with competition being so high, firms are valuing real experience (which is a bit ironic as it's so hard to get in the first place lol) so the fact you have some is amazing, especially in a commercial setting (makes life easier for them when they come to train you)! I definitely wouldn't count yourself out, although I understand that this process is so draining and disheartening. Good luck with your applications! [/QUOTE]
