I am an undergraduate Ulaw student just finished in May. I chose Ulaw as my second option.

I got BBC for my Alevels - clearly not the highest grades. I also thought that the uni was going to harm my possibilities of getting a VC or TC but then I realise that you make your own luck. You can't change your university anymore so there is no point worrying over it now. I received a VC offer despite my low Alevels and the uni from a silver circle firm - and guess what I fumbled the bag. I didn't get an offer because of my performance on the day nothing else.

I doubt if you have great extra-curricular etc and great potential to be a great lawyer they would not offer you a TC because of your uni, to be honest.

I think TC's are just hard to get for everyone - I guess we just have to find the right firm and work hard.
