I’m a second-year student history and politics student at UCL (no dissertation stress just yet, thank goodness), but I figured updating this thread would help keep me motivated as I dipped my toes into the legal world.For context, I do not have any A-Levels due to mitigating circumstances, but I do have an Access to HE diploma, which has left me with 141 UCAS points. So, my application to firms has to be strategic based on their requirements. So, there are no Vacation Scheme applications for me yet—I don’t meet the eligibility requirements. But I’ve been making progress in other areas! I recently applied for the Clifford Chance Spark Scheme, and I’m anxiously waiting to tackle the Watson Glaser test. I'm not going to lie; I’m feeling a little nervous about it. I’ve heard the Watson Glaser is no walk in the park, but I’m staying positive and preparing as much as possible. Although, I cannot (for the life of me) grasp the assumptions section. I’m trying to stay involved and build up my experience, even if it’s outside the traditional legal route. Seeing other people’s progress is motivating, and I’m excited to keep working toward those bigger applications next year. But for now, it’s a mix of uni, societies (getting involved in those more!), and prepping for the Watson Glaser.Wish me luck!</blockquote>
