[QUOTE="Darren Bruce-Tagoe, post: 147962, member: 30552"] Hi all, new member to TCLA, about to be a first year llb student with a strong interest in becoming a solicitor in the not so distant future. Feeling a little bit defeated despite not starting my law journey due to not achieving the best of results academically. My GCSE's were all in the range of 6s-5's and BBC at A-level, of course I was aware of the competitive nature before deciding law was for me however it's impossible for me to say that I feel out of place without even studying a module or applying for a vac scheme or training contract, especially with no mitigating circumstance to rely upon. Of course I won't jsut give up however is it even realistic to have any real high ambitions atm as I will be attending a non-russell group (University of Salford) although I am really happy to have gotten into my firm university is there any real chance I will be able to work for a high end law firm (city level) after my undergrad if I turn my academia around and possibly achieve a 1st class, I hope there is, and honestly believe there could be, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
