[QUOTE="Parsorandini, post: 95457, member: 16664"] Hey everyone. I have found a few topics around this but none with my exact situation. I am a final year mature non law student and am currently in my first VS/TC application process. Ideally I want to start my SQE prep ASAP so probably in Sept 2022 as that is when BPP and University of Law begin their courses. I could also go with BARBRI of course, which is cheaper but I will not have access to postgrad funding. These are the questions I have: firstly, should I wait for the results of this application cycle before accepting a place on an SQE prep course (I suspect the answer to this is yes). In my excited hurry I actually applied to both BPP and University of Law so hold offers for both their SQE preps. I know they are basically businesses, so am I correct in saying that if I did not accept their offers now then I shouldn't have a problem re-applying in a few months and getting accepted again? Secondly, if I fail to get a TC offer this cycle (which I am aware is a good chance), should I go ahead with an SQE course beginning in Sept 2022 anyway so that I can complete the SQE exams sooner, or is it better to just hold off on those courses altogether until I can get funding? I have enough savings to self-fund but of course I would rather get funded by a law firm. Thanks you guys, I hope someone can help! :) [/QUOTE]
