Hello,
I am planning to start the GDL in January 2019 at BPP. I understand a lot of them manage to get training contracts and the firms fund the GDL and the LPC. I have applied / have been applying to few firms since 2 weeks (for training contracts, vacation schemes & open days), and I have not heard back from any of them. I want to know how realistic are my chances of getting a training contract while doing the GDL /after I have completed the GDL. I have a 2:1 quaifying law degree from a common law jurisdiction and also an LLM in Human Rights from SOAS, University of London, which I passed with merit (High 2:1) and my dissertation was awarded a distinction. Since LPC is another huge investment and I have heard stories of people not landing a job even after completing the LPC, I would rather have an idea before I embark on doing the GDL.
