I applied to QMUL on the 18th for the LLM (General) programme, and my referee submitted his reference the following day in the evening. I am aware that postgraduate study is generally less competitive than undergraduate study but I have come across a very small number of posts about people being rejected from QMUL. If it helps, I achieved a 2.1 (62.48% overall) at Birkbeck in the Law LLB with three first class module marks during the third year and as far as I know, this does not necessarily guarantee me a place at QMUL but it's the majority of the battle. Is QMUL particularly competitive for the LLM (General) programme? Do undergraduate grades hold the most weight? Or would there be an equal distribution of weight between the grades, personal statement and reference.
