Can I still get a training contract?

Hi everyone,

I've recently been worrying about whether I can obtain a TC, as my grades are not appealing. I got a B C C in my A levels and will get a 2:1 (65%) in my law degree from a non-Russell group university this year. I know my portfolio is not good, but I really enjoy learning law and want to have a career in the legal industry. I'm worried that my grades will force me to change my career path, and I wanted to hear from people out there about the reality of getting a TC.

If I do well in my LPC and gain relevant work experience, is there still a good chance I could get a TC in the future? What else should I do during my LPC year to improve my chances of getting a TC? Has anyone been in the same position and gotten a TC?

Thanks 🤙
