I'd be quite interested if anyone has been through this second round of selections successfully too. I've applied to one institution but now might want to go to another (if I have the TC) is it likely they'll let me - it'd be London BBP I'd be wanting to go to.

I called up Northumbria after I missed the application deadline. They gave me a place informally and just had me send off the lawcabs form.

I think it differs at each institution...one of my friends did not apply in the first round and then had to visit one of the lpc tutors every day for a week to beg them to let them on the course! Im sure youll be fine though, i guess it depends on the number of places at each institution etc though

Definitely! Get on it now, all the city firms are filling up fast!
Look on lawcareers.net for TC searches, and chambersandpartners.com is quite good too- look at their student guide- you can get hard copies too, and also the TC Handbook is useful. They all give you loads of advice and are really useful.
I wouldn't have thought there was a problem with getting a place on the LPC, especially as you've applied to some of the smaller places- I think it's only BPP, College of Law, Nottingham that have real competition for places (eg Nottingham has 900 applicants for 220 spots on their GDL- I can't see that being the same everywhere!)

Thanks for takin the time 2 reply, I will rep you all!

I applied to Cardiff first. College of Law second and Northumbria third. Maybe I should phone Cardiff, what you think?

And I don't have a training contract. Is now the time to be applying for jobs?

Let me know, thanks.


I don't want to worry you, but I was told at the Cardiff Open Day that pretty much all their offers go to people who put it down as their 1st choice and apply on time. I guess you never know, as if lots of people turn down their places, there might be more spaces by March.
