[QUOTE="babylawyer1942, post: 212023, member: 30623"] Hello everyone, I'm just looking for advice on what to do differently or if its time to call it quits. I am a first-class law 2023 graduate from an RG Uni. I've had 3 cycles now. In my first cycle, I managed to get a vacation scheme but didn't convert. In my second and third cycles, I got up to the last stage interview (before the VS) and got rejected. Despite having a first-class degree, I have relatively weak A-levels (ABB equivalent, I did the IB in 2020, the year that no one did exams). I also did badly in my public and contract law modules, which were in my first year of uni, and I have mitigating circumstances for those results, which I have always detailed in my applications. The majority of my applications never progress past the first stage. If I could give some ratio, I'd say only 1 in 10 progress. I think the applications I write are honestly okay. I have been a gold user sometimes and taken advantage of the application review services and gotten advice from various TCLA mentors. I'm starting to think maybe my profile is wrong, or maybe I am just applying to firms that don't want me. It's taken a toll on my confidence, given I've been applying for 3 years now, and my parents think maybe it's time to move on. However, I do not want to give up on my dream. So if anyone has any advice, it would really be appreciated. [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] [/QUOTE]
