When you work at a Band 1 law firm and they ask you which uni, they always say the same thing- "oh! That's a really good uni"

Get a TC at a firm, go back to where I'm from, have a holiday, and then come back and do the LPC and work.

I did the IB, so no A-Levels for me. I got a 40+ on it doing non-law related stuff like math, physics, psychology, art, english, a foreign language ect.

Uni- SOAS
class- 2.1
law firm- dispute resolution
salary- dismal
private schooled- that was the only option if I wanted an education in English
school grades- 4.1 GPA, 40+ in IBDP.
