[QUOTE="theaspiringrealestatelawyer, post: 211139, member: 29859"] Hi all, I’ll be starting the MA Law Conversion course part-time at the University of Law later this year. Unfortunately, the firm I currently work for doesn’t offer funding for the course, which is a significant factor for me as I come from a lower-income background. Unfortunately, I've also already taken out a postgraduate loan when I began studying at BPP in 2023. I dropped out a few months into the course due to issues with the university such as mismanagement, admin, and frequent phone calls threatening to remove me from the course because I couldn’t provide my undergraduate results at the time, as they were delayed due to the marking boycott and strikes (For context, I graduated in July 2023 but didn't receive my final degree classification until January 2024). As a result, I’ll be applying for training contracts in hopes of securing some funding. I’ve spent some time improving my CV in preparation and would really appreciate any feedback, so I can give myself the best possible chance of securing a TC. I’ve redacted and changed some details to remain anonymous. The only potential concern I have is that I scraped a pass in one of my second-year modules. Will this limit the firms I can apply to? My top firms are DLA Piper, BCLP, Clifford Chance, Addleshaw Goddard, and Pinsent Masons. Do I realistically have a chance, or should I manage my expectations? Many thanks in advance!
