Many firms take people not studying law so the fact that you do computer science is not a problem. I literally attended a talk yesterday where one of the trainees at Slaughter and May had done exactly that degree. As for your A levels if they were from 2020 then everyone knows what happened across the country in terms of how they were awarded, so again not an issue.Whilst many firms have A level requirements they are not the be all and end all. Plenty of people have brilliant A-levels and struggle to find a training contract. The best thing you can do is that if you feel you are lacking in one area to pull yourself up in other areas.If you are only 19 you still have time to do this. Try to get the best grades you can in your degree as firms will look at both individual module marks and A-levels. Get yourself exposed as much as possible to the law through your extra circulars. I take economics and whilst this has required effort it is definitely possible. There are skills you will need to demonstrate you posses alongside academics. Do some research on the skills employers look for and then explore how you can develop them yourself to then evidence in your applications.Plenty of people have stellar academics and still get rejected from MC firms. And I am sure there are people on this forum who can provide testimonies where they have achieved a TC at an MC firm without meeting the A-level requirements. Make sure to put your mitigating circumstances in your applications and they should be taken into account.Essentially it is still possible, it may be a bit harder than if you had 3 A*s, but 100% achievable.Hope this helps! I am in no way an expert but do not give up!</blockquote>
