uni results and LPC acceptance???

ive just had my second year LLB results - got a 2.2 overall, and ive heard that most providers of the LPC wont look favourably on someone only predicted to get a 2.2 degree, which im sure i will be, cos everyone wants 2.1s or above...i'll be applying in december to the college of law and im thinking is it worth it if im probably going to be turned down???? does anyone have any info etc on this??

col of law accept 2.2s they are getting 9k a year from you they will accept anyone pretty much however its getting a tc that you might find a problem.
Yeah you'll get onto the LPC no problem :smile: Just try and work really hard for that 2.1, it'll make your acquisition of a training contract much easier :smile:

firms only see your first and second year results before offering u a TC right? so what are the chances of even getting an interview with a 2.2!? rather worried!
I don't know... but there's a girl working with us who only got a 2.2 from Southampton Institute so it's not impossible!

I have a high 2.1 (not Law) and the equivalent of a 2.1 for my conversion and I find it difficult so I'm guessing you'd need other extra curricular stuff to make up for a 2.2.

But getting on an LPC will be no probs.
You'll have no bother. I was on a borderline 2:1/2:2 at the end of my 2nd year and got a place at a top LPC provider. They don't care really as long as you can stump up the £9k!
You should try getting onto the equivalent of the LPC in Northern Ireland. Entry is based on merit, so you basically need a first to give you a solid chance of getting in. I suspect that's why increasing numbers of Northern Irish students train in England.
