Bro, you have a chance to get a TC and a Vac schemes are you joking, bro my interviewer for a vac scheme went to a non-russell group uni, a partner in a law firm I had work experience went to a non-russell group uni. Forget about 'prestiege', get experience legal or not, do extra curricular activites but yourself out there, apply to everything from open days to vac schemes to Tcs. This belief that vac schemes and Tc's arent achievable if you dont go to a russell group is so stupid, if u meet the requirements to apply, apply.
