Over the course of the application season (October - January) I have applied to around 10 firms all in London and have received rejections every time from vac schemes and direct TCs. I was really upset that I received a rejection from my dream firm but I had a good cry and moved on the more rejections I received the more frustrated I felt about the system. I know the industry is so oversaturated and all the top firms receive crazy amounts of applications but I am starting to lose hope. It's frustrating to spend hours filling out the applications perfectly just to get rejected. My A-level grades aren't the best but with my degree, I'm on track for a 2:1 potentially a first and I have so much relevant experience ranging from attending all the firm events I can to working with my Students Union on behalf of the faculty and having general work experience. I also helped to set up a society at uni showing that I have other passions but I'm still getting rejected despite all of this, I don't attend a Russel group uni and think it could be down to this, it might sound dramatic and I know life doesn't always work out the way you intend but the only thing I want to do with my life is to be a solicitor but it feels like the world doesn't want me to. If anyone else has been through a similar situation and has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to wonder why I am bothering with this degree and it's making it hard to keep hoping.</blockquote>
