Warwick or QMUL?

I think that's the picture at every university up and down the country. Places were definitely at a premium this year ! Still, QM have definitely made massive progress in recent times and you'd be splitting hairs in trying to distinguish it from the other top law schools.

Yeah most probably! I've come to notice from my two weeks here that it really doesn't matter what university you graduate from provided it is in the top half of the universities in the UK; the most decisive factor in gaining pupilage/TC is the applicant themselves! I don't think this view is something people believe until they get to university, but it's clear that there isn't 100 students from one university migrating to Clifford Chance every year, it's a small proportion from varying universities who are in the end successful with MC TCs, the best few candidates from any given university, and every university will have top notch candidates!

Probably one of the more accurate statements in the law forum at the moment.

You do tend to find that city firms/chambers recruit more heavily from certain universities but that's because, at a very general level, the better candidates tend, naturally, to go to the top schools. About 80% of the vac schemers at A&O from my intake came from some of the "typical" universities but there were also students from York, Leeds and Exeter, for example, who were equally impressive.

I've just come to realise how much work is actually involved with this law degree haha!
Got my precedence tutorial on wednesday! I hope that goes better than the statutory interpretation one :<

QMUL has started already? We have Week zero tomorrow and Week one next week, at Bristol

Yeah we (qm people) moved in on the 18th, did foundation from the 27th for the first week and then started yesterday with our proper lectures. I have already found myself spending hours in the library which was a massive surprise. I thought I would at least get a few weeks of easy going

Are you liking it so far?

Definitely, I've been at QM doing law as an undergraduate and then masters for four years and I'm also doing a PhD at QM - can't leave! It seems to have rocketed since 2006.

421 vs 497 UCAS points is no difference at all. You're right..
