Everything I read about QMUL says that going there makes it almost impossible to get a training contract though and somewhere like Sheffield would be better for that. Very confused.


And where have you read this from?

He's obviously not doing IB if he has an A*AA offer.

FWIW, I sent my application out in mid-September and don't have an offer/rejection from LSE yet.


have you been invited to an open day/ had an offer from qm?

Just got an offer for law from Nottingham and they lowered it to AAB...I am so shocked considering my lnat score is not great and my AS grades are not that good either. Maybe it was the essay, I don't know.

I'm torn because I wanted to do English and have an offer from UEA which is the same grades and just did this as parents wanted me to but now I got an offer and it was lowered (and I really didn't think I had a chance of getting in at all, and I applied here too for English but got rejected...weird huh?)...I don't know what to do!
i got an offer from surrey DD... which is rather weird cuz normally they require 320 ucas points.... cant complain tho; cuz less pressure to do well on my A level; although i got a B in AS.....

Offer from Nottingham!!! yeahh!! :biggrin: AAB <3
I want to add my two cents to the whole "hard to get a TC with a degree from QMUL" thing. My mum went to Sainsbury's and got talking to one of the cashiers who just happened to be a Law grad from QM. He said that he'd applied for loads of TC's and had still got no offers and that not many people in his year got TC's from MC firms.

Maybe he just sent off particularly bad applications (as well as the majority of his cohort) but this story made me glad that I didn't apply to QM. What confuses me is the fact that QM has a Law School that has quickly become more reputable as time has progressed.

Stupid, isn't it? For UCL my LNAT wasn't great, which may be partly to blame, but the LSE's GCSE rumours seem accurate. Seems a bizarre way to judge an 18 year old's ability to cope with a course to me: a consideration of exams he took at 16, even where later exams show marked improvement.
You rightly point out though that I no longer give a crap :tongue: It's firmed. It felt awesome.


You know, this actually really shows why Oxbridge are considered so good, they take people who have potential, rather than just prior achievement. I still think whoever processed your UCAS firming must have thought "You utter badass."

To be fair also, UCL would have been the only real insurance, as soon as the Bridge accepted you, unless you were thinking of going to LSE, you must have hoped for UCL more?

ANYWAY, good luck home skillet biscuit, I want as many Northerners as possible to get into Oxbridge, from the sounds of the place during my visits, it's not yet Northern enough :p:

I would think it's hard to get TCs from anywhere immediately?
I've heard they prefer you to get a little work experience first, but I may be completely off base.
