For reference as I know it's helpful for future applicants to get an idea of their likelihood of getting in based on other people's profiles:
I'm a third year at Durham predicted a first by my tutors. I got a score of 67.3% in my second year which put me in the top 23% of my cohort. Applying for me to begin with was a bit of a long-shot although I have seen people get in with lower grades from Durham.
I was hoping my mooting record would somewhat make up for my slightly below par grades as I'm representing the Uni internationally in a prestigious mooting competition and won an important internal mooting competition in my second year, I'm also involved in some law-related societies.
I think my shortcomings were probably my second year grade and having only done 1 mini-pupillage at a fairly non-prestigious set, my plan now is to reapply next year hopefully having graduated with a first and having done lots more mini-pupillages - best of luck everyone :)
Thank you, that is much appreciated! I wish you best of luck with your future endevours and application next year!
