Have just decided to post here as I wanted feedback from others. Have very recently applied to UCL and Birkbeck. I am a law graduate who has been unable to get a pupillage after doing the BVC and was wondering if chambers would appreciate this or whether others feel I am wasting a year and should go about growing up and getting a new career?

well ive just done the bvc as well and i was so discouraged bout the pupillage tht i didnt even apply.... but bout the LLM... i dont think it would make a huge difference as ur LLB and BVC grades would be the deciding factors(it sucks but thts how it works)... and im actually contemplating changing to a solicitor now...
