    I’m final year non- law and have applied for a mixture of vac schemes and TCs. Should I apply to ULaw to get a sport for the PGDL just in case I don’t get a TC this cycle?

    thanks for the advice I really appreciate it. Sometimes it easy to feel like you are going crazy, when you get excited/nervous every time your phone pings, and then disappointed if it's nothing to do with applications. It can also feel very difficult to not compare to people on the forum.
