Uh huh, so you know what you know from other somewhat snobby students themselves who have only just started thinking about law careers.
The fact of the matter is, a lot of mainstream firms are no longer being quite as strict about prestige. There are contextual recruitment processes, uni blind processes and firms departing away from a-level grade requirements. This is resulting in achieving a vac scheme place or a TC f
or high achieving nontraditional uni students becoming much more of a possibility.
For reference, I know people from Westminster, Greenwich, Man Met, NTU, and various other universities which you so obnoxiously quoted as 'being laughed at' who are all currently training at some of the best firms in the country and in the world.
My aggression against you isn't about the general gist (you have a better chance coming from a good RG/non-RG, that is, of course, true) it is with regards to your understanding of how recruiting works and your borderline condescending attitude towards universities outside of that group. I'd suggest maybe toning that down, because it won't pose well when you inevitably come across people from those unis at whatever firm you end up in (if you even end up at a firm).
All this talk of 'omg theoretically tho if someone had a first from UCL but a first from Coventry, the Oxford fellow would win out' and 'ermagherd ma statistics', isn't gonna change the above.
That's all I wanted to say really.
