Which LPC??

I'm currently trying to decide which LPC's to go for, I've got a training contract with a medium/ small London firm and preferably want to do my LPC in London, which LPC would be best? I like the sound of BPP, Westminster and the College of Law, would any of these reject me if I didn't put them as my first choice? Help!

Westminster is a horredous uni, now way could you get rejected even with DDD i bet. 30% or so of there students are from UCAS clearing, so they can't be oversubscribed can they!

Ummm I don't think you realise this but the LPC is something different to the LLB. Therefore your comment about Westminster goes out of the window.

I believe the so called best LPC provider is NTU or the College of Law.

But you may get a bit irritated by the overwhelming number of people there from the top City firms, because it is one of the consortium firms. Soon, they will be the ONLY LPC provider for five of the top firms. At that point, it will seriously get uncomfortable for people who not at leading City firms.

That's something to consider. No idea if anything like this happens with the BVC. And in any event how can you judge which providers are best? j/w

To my knowledge, many of the strongest BVC candidates (I define 'the strongest' to mean those with first class degrees, scholarship winners from Inns and people who have secured pupillages with the leading chambers) come to BPP.

We generally judge the providers based on the Law Society ratings (Excellent, Very Good, etc) AND again, the perception of City law firms. (Can't run away from that one - employability is what it's all about at the end of the day!) :-)

Are there ways to find this out? I'm probably asking a silly question but I'm not at university yet so I need to take one step at a time.

I knew BPP was a good provider but as usual you have many sources, and one I came across said that for the majority of people it didn't where they took the LPC.
