Message: <blockquote data-quote="IntrovertedV" data-source="post: 31759" data-attributes="member: 6569">Hi all! I've never posted here before so apologies for being so soppy in my first thread! I would just like some insight on the likelihood of me obtaining a legal career after years of hopeless applications to law firms in London. My first batch of applications were appalling, but have been improving at every next attempt and I am still not getting anywhere. About myself: My A-Levels are, to my standards, pretty terrible, being at ACCC from a good college. I luckily secured a place at City, University of London and graduated from there in 2018 with a 2:1. I decided to take a gap year since I had some issues with my documents with student finance in relation to funding the LPC, thus forcing me to delay in applying for it. I finally started my LPC LLM course part-time at BPP in September 2019 and let's say it's been terrible for me. I had to resit my Business Law module and I fear that Property Law might be next. Many applications ask if I had to do any resits and I'm worried that disclosing this will be the nail on my legal career coffin. I have been working as an administrator, then payroll assistant, then back to administrator at a construction engineering company (currently furloughed). I have legal work experience at 2 small firms and have attended numerous open days at BCLP, Bircham Dyson Bell and have done volunteering during my university studies. I have not resat anything at university, thankfully. I co-founded my university's Pro Bono Society and served as its marketing manager until I graduated. I also participated at several mooting competitions. I guess my question is, do I have a shot? My heart lies with Kennedys - I did nearly secure a vac scheme there, but did not pass their WG test (*facedesks*). I am really worried about my history of a resit (possibly resits) at BPP. Any answers would be of great help to me! I am trying to be as honest with myself as possible. Thank you all! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
