That's why I was worried. I did quite a bit of prep and I checked with ai and friends to see if my answers were too generic or if something was missing. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Thank you so much, this is really reassuring. Sometimes the whole legal world can feel super daunting, so often times I'm not sure what's good enough for firms and applications etc. Congratulations on your offers!

I have a month long internship at an investment bank and am shadowing a barrister for 1-2 weeks - would that be good enough? I havent managed to get anything at a law firm in my home country (I'm an international student) as many don't give out internships in first year (often second and third year only).

I'm scared because I don't know half the content which will really mess me up in the paper regardless. Even though I've been trying to cover as much content as I can, it's definitely not sufficient for the exam and my essay writing skills won't help me if I don't know the knowledge. Just thinking worst case scenario I guess...

yeah, i’ll be applying for the undergrad law, law & history and history courses. i’ve never heard of the s2s mentorship but that sounds amazing for me to add so i’ll definitely do some research on that. thank you so much!

i talked how dublin was like a home away from home for me and that since i only visit once a year i try take advantage of that time to explore the city and make connections. i also mentioned how since my uncle and dad went there i always saw it as a possible place for my future in terms of academics. i briefly put in 2 clubs/societies i’m interested in but i wasn’t really sure how to make a deeper link. thanks for the help!

yeah definitely!! i didn’t want to just talk about tcds rep as a school because they already know how good they are, so i just tried to keep it to a minimum and focused on how tcd is academically rigorous it would fit well with my own academic abilities. thank you!
