[QUOTE="safari3, post: 190731, member: 34636"] Hi (non-law graduate progressed to VI) Sorry to hear you got rejected post app. I understand how frustrating that can be. To answer your questions: - B&B are super open to non-law, particularly if you are STEM (which I am not), so I don’t think that could be a reason; - I attended an insight day with them prior to submitting my app and they did mention that they are very picky at the application stage. I think this is because they only require a 2:1 grade overall (not too fussed with academics), so weigh the content of the written answers very heavily. They would’ve marked your answers against the firm’s competencies which are available on the early careers hub; - They also mentioned to apply before the beginning of Nov to ensure your app gets screened, so that may be where you fell short, but even then I can’t confirm if that was the case this year. For reference, I applied towards the end of Oct. Hopefully this gives you a bit more clarity. Again, I am very sorry about the outcome and wish you the best in your other applications :) [/QUOTE]
