Hi there,

I know it might be a silly question to ask, but is it really impossible to get a first hon LLB ? I have talked to a lot of my lawyer friends, no matter how smart they are, they told me the same thing " it is impossible to get a 1st hon LLB".

anyone got it and how did you do it?

thx!

Yes i think its possible. I know many people who have in my country where the maximum GPA is 3.0. Two girls from my university obtain 3.0 which means they only got straight A's.
I got 2.5 but i think i could have done so much better if I wasnt working so much at the end of my final year at uni.

Dont worry much about it and just try your best and your conscience will let you sleep :)

by the way most people who get into oxford and cambridge have 1 hon LLB from what I've hear and seen here at this forum.

Hey there,

Thanks!

Now I feel better :) some of my friends they work so hard (like read 5-6 hours per day) and they are very smart, but still, they could only get a very high 2:1....so I started to think maybe 1st hon LLB is just a legend :)

have a nice day!

hehe yes dont worry just do your best and remember every single person is different,,some people have more skills at studying than others i guess!

Hi, are you going to UCL? (just found out in the old posts)

Your grade must be really good!!! You will have to have 1st Hon to get in there, right? I am thinking to have my LLM at LSE or UCL, hope but first need to have a good LLB!

Is it really difficult to get in? Apart from academic qualifications, any other stuffs they will ask for?

Thx!

No i dont have a first,,i have second upper! or least i think so cause i didnt study my LLB in the study so i guess my grades back in my country were equal to 2nd upper honors/

I also had work experience so maybe that helped dont know!
lots of voluntary experience as well
