    Hi Fireman John
    Thanks for your message.

    Yes, it is possible to get scholarship but yet hardly make it through the paper sift for pupillage. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that scholarship panels interview all applicants who can demonstrate academic achievement - irrespective of pre-university performance.

    It's interesting, time and again I hear it argued, on here and elsewhere, that pupillage committees, faced with about 300 or so applications, are justified in turning away otherwise excellent applicants on the basis of poor pre-university education.

    Yet, each Inn of Court has about double the number of applications for scholarships every year to sift through. Yet they manage to assess those applications without taking into account the applicant's pre-university education or the university at which they are studying. It leaves me wondering, if they can do it, why can't chambers?
