Anyone know if Bakers require you to complete the PGDL? Their Legal Cheek profile states they no longer fund it and only fund a foundation course with BARBRI. So as a non-law student, would I just do the BARBRI + SQE1+2?

Think its the MA/SQE an MA conversion course with SQE. My friend is doing that right now with Uni of Law. Don't know if its the same.

Hey, does the holding email say anything about when to expect an outcome? I've done the VI but not received the email.
It says ‘we hope to notify you with the outcome within the next couple of weeks’ and I got it on Thursday! Out of interest - which scheme did you put as your first preference?
