Hi all,

I was looking onto to find a kind of academic profile for white & case trainees. From what I have seen on LinkedIn, it appears that associates who work at the firm and are Non RG are only considered if they have obtained a first.

I have a range of grades in my uni degree during my first year which were 2:2, 2:1, for the penultimate year it was 2:1 and then for my last year it was high 2:1s and 1sts.
I graduated with a high 2:1 (68%).

During my a levels & uni I had a range of mitigating circumstances which impacted me: I broke my back at university which meant I had to take 2 years out to recover, I grew up in foster care from the age of 8 and had to work full time hours in jobs throughout my A Levels & University to support myself.

Presently I am completing my LLM at RG uni and striving to graduate as high as I can. Additionally, I am completing my remaining LPC exams at BPP.

Is it worth me applying or will I most likely be rejected?
