    I may be wrong on this so don't take my word for it. These are just my thoughts. I don't think getting 2 low 2:1's is a good example of bouncing back from failure.

    Hi :) I just saw your post about securing several AC's! AMAZING work. Would it be possible or you to look over an application of mine for feedback?

    Anyone heard from linklaters? My account got locked because I forgot my login details and I emailed Grad Recruitment last week about that but no response. Could my account being locked prevent me from getting correspondence from them or has no one heard back?
