Hi everyone,
I have a first class undergrad degree in biochemistry and completed the GDL with SQE1 course at BPP with a distinction. During my GDL I obtained a vacation scheme at a city law firm but unfortunate didn’t convert it into a TC offer. Thereafter my SQE1 studies were significantly disrupted due to 2 close family bereavements, caring responsibilities etc. So, a year later, I managed to complete the SQE1 prep portion of my course but haven’t done the official SQE1 exams yet. I am planning to on January.
Will this be a significant disadvantage for me as I apply for training contracts this cycle? Do I have to explain why I haven’t done my sqe1 exams yet?
I’d appreciate any advice on the best way to approach this. Thank you in advance.
