Magic circle-do I still have a chance I went to Uni of Leicester

I went to Uni of Leicester and got 2:1. I did lots of work experience and participated in the pro bono society. I’m worried that I won’t be able to get into a magic circle firm. Is there still a chance for me? I also plan to take the bar exam and after do a masters in international law as I really want to become a diplomat but I’m not sure if I have a chance.

I think you have a good chance. A 2:1 at a strong university is what they ask for, not necessarily Oxbridge. Give it a go, and you should at least be able to get a TC at a SC or US firm I bet.

No, because it's still a good university. I'm pretty sure like Clifford Chance even said they did CV blind admissions - you should still have a solid chance.
