qmul law or gap year?

Ignore all that tittle tattle. QMUL is fine.

okay thanks!

I’m taking a gap year to reapply to better unis 🙂 don’t be afraid to do it if that’s what u feel is best

problem is im not sure what is best... i like qm bcz of the campus but i just saw ppl saying its not prestigious enough and law is alr so competitive im scared my chances of securing a tc is lower

Nah most city law firms don't look at university (CV-blind), and those that do will be happy with QMUL. I have like 5 friends at QMUL who have secured Magic Circle TCs in second year, so it's definitely just up to you once you get into the university.
They might have less career events than the bigger London universities, but they still have prestigious firms coming in. I know this because one of the friends I mentioned is on the committee for a society that partners with elite law firms.
I mean you could do a year out and apply again, but only if it makes sense to do so (e.g. you're planning on applying to elitist firms, QMUL is too far East, you think you have a strong chance of getting one of the other unis if you do reapply, etc).

Queen Mary is a good uni and has a great law school. But it’s always up to you if you want to reapply. All universities are good but it also depends on you and your work ethic. I know someone who is a barrister and they went to the university of Northampton for their BA which isn’t a Russell group. You could always do your masters degree at another university.

I feel you I have offers from Exeter and Nottingham but I know I can do better, I got rejected from kings but I am waiting ucl or Bristol so I think taking a gap year and reapplying with my alevels and more extracurriculars I can do in my gap year is better
