[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 121072, member: 2672"] I think you’d be surprised to hear this is not that unusual. Many medical students pursue other careers, and law (and especially patent law) is just one of those options. I have seen medical students apply for and secure legal careers throughout my career. They may not be high in number, but you generally see a handful each year. I think you are taking a very reasonable approach based on what you have said. Recognising this is the early part of your journey to law is a healthy approach to take, and yet you are being really proactive by doing the virtual programmes and applying for open days etc. it won’t take you long to show your pursuit of the career, as you have already done a few things to set you on that journey. If your second year grades are not a 2.1 standard, then for many opportunities it will be worthwhile waiting until you have your final year results before applying. It sounds like if there were health issues in your second year that you may have extenuating circumstances - I wouldn’t necessarily discount that you didn’t have them if it is health related.
