I just got rejected from the BA Law (senior status) at Cambridge. Put a lot of time and effort into it, so I'm bummed out - I got pooled and didn't get picked up.I can't help but feel as though I'm missing out on starting my legal career the right way. Can someone here help me gain some perspective? I'm 23 with a BSc (2:1) and MA (first) in International Affairs/development from reputable places in the Netherlands and Switzerland. I realised I wanted to change paths and qualify as a solicitor in the UK (with a human rights orientation), hence the application for another undergrad degree.
What am I really missing out on by not going to Oxbridge? I read a lot that Oxbridge law graduates have an edge in employment afterwards - what does that "edge" really entail? How would my experience be different going to a uni like queen mary for law? Or KCL, UCL, LSE?
Appreciating any input.
