My uni doesn’t even allow undergrad transcripts to be uploaded cos they’re on a secure portal, so it would have been a waste of time applying. It’s a...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I went to their open day and met two people who went to non-RG unis (Kent and Lancaster). One of their future trainees also went to SOAS. It’s worth applying to them if you’re interested.
