Hello. I'm an international student doing LLB in a British university that is ranked pretty low. Now I know that a majority of silver circle (and magic ofc) firms tend to go for either oxbridge or RG unis. I also know that they select a few students that are from neither oxbridge or RG universities, but even then they're pretty decent unis. I won't name mine but its ranked around 60-80 in the UK. Do I have a chance of being selected for a vacation scheme or a training contract given that I'm the ideal candidate in other aspects (have good Alevel grades, have a 2.1 or above in uni, tons of work experience, and know how to make my application stand out) but come from a 'low tier uni'? I feel down when thinking about this. Are there any stories out there of candidates from low ranked unis securing a VS or/and a TC in a silver circle firm? Also any advice to make my application look more attractive would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
