Hi all, I wanted to ask whether you think it's possible that I could break into a US/MC/SC Law firm in London?I graduated with A Levels (ABC), upper 2:1 from a Non RG Uni and 3 years Paralegal experience in Property LawCurrently I am finishing the LPC & completing an LLM at a RG uni. I have started to apply for vac schemes with Allen & Overy, Baker McKenzie, Linklakers etc. I am applying to these areas specifically because I want to focus on corporate law.My concern is that my undergraduate isn't from a RG uni and so firms won't consider me.I grew up in foster care and come from a low socio-economic background, being the first in my family to graduate university. I also had to work a part time job with full time hours throughout my a levels and university to support myself. Unfortunately I broke my back during university also so that delayed me completing by 2 years. I have explained these circumstances on my applications but not sure it will make a difference.Is it likely that I would be considered given my background?
