[QUOTE="D95, post: 13783, member: 3094"] Hi Jessica As a non-RG graduate, I was advised to not waste my time on applications to certain law firms. From your experience, does my university put me in such a disadvantage that I should really not bother? For the record, I had an equivalent of straight As on my A-levels and ended up at my university simply because by the virtue of being from EU I had no idea whatsoever of the importance of RG in the legal field and when I realised that it was perhaps too little too late. I actually enjoyed my time at uni and although so far I was not met with dismissive comments in person about my academic background, I did encounter less than encouraging posts online which, of course, severely impacted my self-confidence. Also, to my horror, quite recently my university took a deep dive in the league tables. Theoretically, I meet all the basic criteria when I'm applying for TC/VS (good A-levels, 1st class degree, working experience) but sometimes I wonder how much emphasis the recruiters actually put on applicant's alma mater.
