Only people that got law firm offers from my class were:

all white. With the same grades and experience as the rest of us. We graduated in 2013. Not one ethnic minority afaik has had an offer from my class. What does that tell you about law firms?

Your class is far too small a sample size to draw valid conclusions regarding the national recruitment decisions of firms.

All 150 of them? Really? I'd say it is a pretty good indication that these firms are ****ing racist. Or how about Allen and Overy's cohort this year? Eye spied with my little eye, one token from each ethnic minority and it's ok? So full of ****ing bull****.

ethnic minorities are bad at interviews

How many of the 150 in your class were of ethnic minorities?

Every interview I went to was like 80% girls. What does that tell you?

A fifth. The fact you downplay this is a disgrace.

And what university did you go to, if you don't mind me asking so I can get an idea of the firms recruiting there.

P.S. I'm not downplaying it, i'm just questioning whether it's just a one off or is it possibly a national trend.

I also study Law by the way.

Grades and experience is only part of it. I'm not quite at the same level as some of the ultra-geniuses in my school year and sometimes I feel like I'm slightly obscured by their insane aptitude and raw mental prowess.

But I decided not to go for Maths, Physics and Chemistry for my A-levels, unlike half of my entire year. I went with Maths, Physics and Drama, and made some unique points about my interest in drama and ballroom dance in my personal statement.

I've now got three offers, one of which is unconditional. Meanwhile, the masses generic Maths-Physics-Chemistry personal statement: "I like maths; I want to be a scientist" are being swamped out by each other.

It's not just about 'grades and experience'. Universities care a lot of about personality, character and what an individual can bring to the table that sets them apart from others. You can't really draw a conclusion from that small a sample size. In order for it to truly have been a fair test, everyone in your class would've had to have been exactly the same person, apart from their colour.

Schools bang on about how 'grades are all universities care about'. Whilst it's what they look at first, and it's what they devise offers by, I think one of the most important assets of all is individuality.

No, I am not helping you.

I study at Oxford by the way so I wouldn't need help regarding academic matters anyway.

This certainly makes an interesting read:

Seems like firms are doing more to recruit from minorities.

Perhaps you need to stop grovelling because of your rejection and change your attitude if you expect success.

That's nice, please tell me about how going to Oxford is a prequisite for being an expert in everything academic.
